Pin Trading:
Pin Trading has become a huge tradition at the World Series. Players, coaches, and parents will have opportunities to trade pins throughout the week including during the Skills Competitions and Team Social. Team pins are not mandatory but certainly adds to the fun of this special event.
We do encourage every team to bring some small item like pins to trade
with the other players and teams. If you decide not to go the pin
route, we suggest contacting your local chamber of commerce or visitor’s
bureau about obtaining items to trade.
