The story as I got it when I got it. It was one of the first pins awarded to the maingate pin trading team, I mean lets go way back to the begining. I did see a few of the team members like Jim and others wearing it on thier collars way back before I knew who they even were. Its an LE of 25 so I was told

So I'm looking to an expert other than me to either verify of deny the accuracy of this story.

I can tell you a pin trader from way back offered me, any pin out of his book for it, when I said no thank you he made it pins up to 5 out of his book and he had some pretty good pins.

Why did I not trade it simple. I promised the owner that gave it to me, that I would not trade, or sell it for 1 year should they change thier mind and want it back. Seems they left the team early back and wanted nothing to do with pins or pintrading.

I write pretty small but I don't think there is any way I could put a whole story on that pin. I am presuming that you want the story on the back since writing on the front of the pin would kind of mess it up. But then if it was on the back, you would always have to take the pin off to read the story. I gotta admit, this is a first for me. No one has ever asked if I would put a story on a pin before. You are one odd dudester Raul. I will give you that.

Ed,
Next time you see Jim ask him. Since he used to wear it I would think he would know.
Personally if I had to guess, I would say that it was for the trainers who work at the maingate complex. I'm no expert, so I don't know.

Yeah, we are counting the minutes until we get there. I am packing Diamondbacks jerseys and Trina's ankle brace as we speak. I have Trina tied to a sewing machine doing a little last minute work before we leave. (Hey, she looked bored so I HAD to help her out, right?) We will be leaving Wednesday morning (EARLY) and should be in the parks that afternoon with lanyards in hand. Can't wait to see everyone! I am even going to hunt down Cynthia since I heard a vicious rumor she would be there at the same time. I have never seen her "mystery pin pissed" so I definitely gotta check that out.
