Whether its the time-tested mid-summer exhibition or the October grand finale, the All-Star Game and World Series are labeled "Classics" for good reason, as stellar play is required to advance and proper credentials are necessary for on-site viewing! Here are some of the latter in the form of coveted press pins. With posts and nuts intact throughout (with variations noted), the accessories include:
