Not a shot at anyone but I just hope members are really digesting what you are sharing here.
I also hope that perhaps some of Peter’s big fans at least take a moment to scratch their collective heads on their champion.
As always thank you for sharing I know I’m not alone in the fact that you have taken time to share these stories with us all, as I’m sure it’s no fun reliving the nightmare that has and continues to be your relationship with Pete.
Cheers,
John
P.S. Sorry to rub it in but that pin is amazing ughh so sorry it's been taken from you.

Hi John,
The 1912 World Series stickpin that Peter Nash stole from me is rare and very valuable. These stickpins were given to the players that won the World Series from as early as 1909 to as late as 1919. Hall of Famer Edd Roush has his 1919 World Series gold diamond stickpin on display at the Cincinnati Reds Museum. Many of the players converted the head of the stickpin into a ring or brooch. Here is what Edd Roush’s wife had to say about her husband’s World Series stickpin.
“Essie remembered the 1919 diamond stickpin they had given the players. Some of the wives had converted the head of the stickpin to a ring, or a bangle on their charm bracelet. Essie thought it would be ostentatious to wear it, so it lay all alone in the safety deposit box at the bank. It was hidden away, like the memory of that "Black Sox" World Series, a symbol of embarrassment.” Below is a photo of Edd Roush’s 1919 World Series diamond stickpin.
