The pin for the Twins featured the image of two ballplayers shaking hands, symbolic of the Twin Cities. A crossed bats pin was made for every other team”
Is the Twins pinback pictured here the one described in the quote or am I missing something? I would think this one is smaller than the quote described. |
See post 1181 for picture of Twins pin from the Midwest Badge set.

Baseball's appeal isn't complicated or confusing. It's about the beauty of the game; it's about heroes and family and friends; it's about being part of something larger than yourself, about tradition---receiving it and passing it; and it's about holding on to a bit of your childhood.
