ITPC SUMMER EXTRAVAGANZA SPORTS MEMORABILIA AUCTION
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 8/25/2007
This pinback button is a sad reminder to the old-time Dodger fans who implored their beloved team to stay in Brooklyn. The pin was worn in protest of the Dodgers impending move to Los Angeles after the 1957 baseball season. Unfortunely for the wearers of this pin, the hated Walter O'Malley did not listen to their cries and broke the hearts of maybe the most loyal fans of all-time.
The pin measures 1.5" across. It has the Dodger blue as the background color with white lettering. A union label is stamped into the verso side. It has nice clarity and bright coloring. This is a rare pin and a "must have" for any Brooklyn Dodgers collector.
