The pin is a crossed bats pin. These were made for all teams from the mid 1930s until the early 1970s. The attachment was used by vendors for a period of time just to enhance the pin.

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.
