Attractive 1951 World Series press pin for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Except the Dodgers were not in the World Series that year. The National League pennant race went down to the wire decided by one single game Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round The World" ending the season for the Dodgers in the bottom of the ninth inning of the final game of a three-game playoff to decide the pennant. LOOK at those guys! Isn't baseball great? Of course with the season coming down to the wire both teams needed to prepare as if they were moving forward into the World Series. Press pins were produced including this example in VG/EX condition with some mild surface wear otherwise presenting quite well. An outstanding piece of baseball lore the press pin that would have been used had Bobby Thomson never hit the dramatic home run.
