ITPC SUMMER 2009 EXTRAVAGANZA SPORTS MEMORABILIA AUCTION
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 8/22/2009
This super rare pin was the last cry of the Brooklyn Dodgers faithful to keep their beloved "bums" in Brooklyn. Of course we know, that this protest did not work and the Dodgers left for the West Coast following the 1957 season. The pin measures about 1/5" in diameter and is in excellent condition. The verso side has the Union stamp. If you were or still are a fan of the Brooklyn Dodgers, this is a must have piece.
**Just as a side note, last year while watching a documentary on the Brooklyn Dodgers, the mayor of NYC was shown wearing a like pin.
