Thanks Rob!! I was talking to Ted Hake and he asked someone he knew about the pin as well. They said that Paul Muchinsky had discussed it with him and came around to the idea it was football related rather than baseball. Mostly because of the colors. Also, another prominent member here thought it was political rather than sports.
I'm beginning to think maybe it was multi-purpose and sold at different events as suggested by another member as well as yourself.
