This morning I headed up to the Little League World Series in Williamsport. This year I had a lot more fun because I took part in many of the promotional campaigns some of the major sponsors were doing. Aside from baseball and football cards, I also collect pins. Pin trading is HUGE at the Little League World Series. Obtaining some of the pins from the sponsors reminded me of being at The National, because you need to do certain things to get a pin. I had a really good time and if you’re a baseball fan you should go. I even found a few baseball cards 🙂 When I was there, Mexico and Canada were playing. Click on each photo to enlarge.

This was one of the pin trading tents. There were thousands of pins in here.

This ACE Hardware pin was a giveaway around lunchtime.
All I had to do was answer a few questions at the Honda booth and they handed me this pin.
Quality Inn was just giving these away at their booth.
Coca-Cola gave me this pin because I recycled one of their soda bottles at their booth.
While I was getting lunch, a man came up to me and said he was an umpire for Little League and gave me this pin. Its an umpire pin from Johnson City, TN.
These cards were a giveaway from Sunkist. Upper Deck made them back in 2005 for the Little League World Series. Each came wrapped in a clear pack. There are 5 cards to the set.

Cool pins. I especially like the Coke one. One of the many posts that I’ve got going in my notebook which will hopefully one day make it to the website is about my pin collection.

Ooops, should have said great post! Waiting for your next one!
That’s strange. That second post wasn’t me.
Great pics – can you share any more of some trading pins?
My son and I went to all the games last year, and he went pin crazy!! I was wondering if you know anything about the 9 piece usher pin? He collected all the pieces and its a great pin. I was wondering if you knew of any value or how many complete sets were made? Thanks
Thats a good question. I received an usher pin last year too. I’m not quite sure how many sets were made.
