Pin Trading

[Macman]

what are everyone's thoughts on pin trading at cooperstown dreams park?   i was thinking of doing it this year with a custom pin, does anyone have a pin that they had made?   i traded with kids with the stock pins CDP gives you but i wanted to see what it was like cost wise and such to get a pin made

I know a few guys who went had teams give them pins with the word umpire attached onto their team pin.

Gonna cost you a couple hundred. I've considered it, but decided not to spend the dough.

Pins are a big thing in LL as well. I have a pin that I will trade with the kids when I do a regional tournament or at a WS. All of the WS umps that come to work the WS in our town bring them as well. It is a cool thing to see the kid's faces when they get a new pin. I think that it makes the umpires more approachable for the kids and shows that we are there to have a great time like they are.

We have also made a district pin for the staff to use if they want. Some of our teams that go to a regional will use the same basic design and modify colors to match their colors.

I buy from a guy in Mass, and I think the cost is around $2 each for multi color.

Ok, sorry it took so long .......

 

But, the guy who sits by me had pins made for Cooperstown a couple of years ago ...he got them for about 1.15 each but that's probably based on the volume he had made ....
