Randall,
I think it's impossible to categorize all pins with "BBC" on them as belonging or not belonging to a particular team. In this case, however, we have a book devoted to the "Baltimore Baseball Club" with two pages of items and pictures that directly relate to the team. Is your position that everything in the book is germane to Baltimore baseball except the pin that is pictured?
