Congratulations Scott!
As a Reds collector who likes pins, I almost never see any player pins of Reds from the 40s or 50s offered other than the relatively common PM-10 of Ted Kluszewski. Those things are crazy rare.

Vandy was on the top step with 1 out in the 9th inning, waiting to congratulate is friend.
Alas, it wasn't meant to be.... 75 years have passed and no one has gotten even close.  |
