Pinback - Mullen BASEBALL Booster Club 1915

[slidekellyslide]

Booster club pins are generally for a team....I know there is a Mullen, Nebraska and also a Mullen, Kansas...I would bet there are probably more towns in the US with that name. I'm thinking if someone went to the trouble of making pins for George Mullin they'd get his name spelled correctly.

I believe George Mullins name was not spelled correctly on numerous occasions:

I realize that, but I would think if someone was starting a booster club for him they'd get the name right. Of course that doesn't mean the badge company didn't mess up, but I still think the odds are it's for a town team.

I was originally thinking it was perhaps a town team but I could find only a few towns named Mullen. Mullen, NE has population of 491 as of 2001 so I could only imagine what the population would have been in 1915. In fact I can only find two cities named Mullen in the U.S., Mullen, NE and Mullen, CA.

Hopefully the good Dr M. will chime in and give us his thoughts.

Actually my mistake the Good Dr was the underbidder on that pin. I had said winner! But he still maybe able to offer his thoughts!

I would go with team instead of individual player.
