Thanks Michael. I spent some time reviewing minor league championship rings and I think of all -
the 1953 Jacksonville Braves with Hank Aaron, and
the 1946 Montreal Royals with Jackie Robinson,
to me are the most desirable, with the aesthetics of the Braves ring being much nicer with a pretty large diamond, clear ruby enamel, and an awesome Brave in profile on the side. Two of the greatest. and both players were MVP, against the backdrop of tremendous challenges that transcend the game. both were called up to MLB directly after. Aarons full story in my opinion has yet to be told. The eyes of the world weren't on Aaron, essentially alone there.
I very much wanted there to be a Joplin Miners ring from 1950, for the Mick, but the team didnt issue rings or other awards.
If anyone has any thoughts or info on other great minor league rings, Id love to learn more.
