Pin #547: FDR Home


This is a pin representing the home of Franklin D. Roosevelt.  It is copper in color with some green, dangling things on the bottom.  I don't recall where I got this pin, but I think either my parents or friends of my parents went there and got it for me.

Pins #542-546: Phillies 2008 Playoffs


This is a pin set I bought to commemorate the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies World Series Championship.  Each pin represents a step along the path to the championship.  In the top left, the pin celebrates the NL East Championship.  Then in the top right we recognize the NLDS victory over the Brewers.  On the bottom left, we see the NLCS victory over the Dodgers.  I went to two games during that series, including the Matt Stairs homerun game.  The pin on the bottom right celebrates the World Series victory over the Rays.  And in the center, there is a World Champions pin featuring the World Series trophy.  This is one of my favorite pin sets because it represents such a happy sports memory for me.

Pins #539-541: Alabama Crimson Tide


This is a pin set representing the Alabama Crimson Tide.  I am by no means an Alabama fan, but this set was a gift from someone so I keep it.  The three different pins showcase the school logo and mascot, which is an elephant for some reason.  It's a simple, classy set.
