Al,

Thanks so much for not revealing the shameful family secret I told you from my youth. Some Italians can hold a grudge for 50 years.

I never saw the 2nd variety of the Williams pin before. Thanks for sharing. If I could learn how to post images, I would be happy to do so.

An interesting story about the Mays MVP pin that someone posted. Mays was in his final year with the SF Giants (1972). The Giants issued the 1965 MVP pin of Mays during the 1972 season as a souvenir of his magnificent career. The photograph of Mays was current at the time, but in 1965 he did not have sideburns. I learned this story only a few years ago from a former front office employee of the Giants.

Paul
