I absolutely love the crossed bat pins. What amazes me is despite making these for over 3 decades for every major league team, minor league team, Negro League team, World Series, All Star Game, etc., we don’t know the maker. If this design was designated as a set, it would impossible to compile a checklist, let alone complete the “set”. Collecting them from the golden age of the game was certainly fun. I say was, because I don’t think I’ve found one I don’t already have in over 5 years.
