Collecting isn't all about autographs, Baseball cards and bobbleheads. Sometimes it's about history and finding treasures that reflect the past. For instance, featured above is a vintage pin from a minor league club I'm sure most of you have never heard of. Heck, before running into this item a few days ago on eBay I had no idea this former Dodger farmclub ever existed.
The above pin is for the Class D Odessa Dodgers of the short-lived Sophomore League. A Class D club is akin to Rookie Ball (the Ogden Raptors) or low Single-A (the Great Lakes Loons) leagues that exist today.
