Randall, I wouldn't swap out your baseball charm just yet on that beautiful pin. They moved the 1942 Rose Bowl from Pasedena to Durham, so it makes sense they would move the 1942 Shrine game as well. But as you correctly noted, the Wikipedia source lists the Shrine game played in New Orleans in 1943, not 1942. As is the case with some pins, you can find information to support different interpretations as to its origin. Perhaps the wikipedia source is incorrect and perhaps it is correct. This thread isn't about an All-Star game played in New Orleans in 1942 or 1943, nor is it about baseball or football. So hay, enjoy your pin.
