If the button had proven prophetic, the Reds would have represented the National League in the very first World Series. But alas, the Pirates robbed them of that honor. Red button with white printing features ball and crossed bats image at center, with text reading, "Joe Ehrman, The Bismarck Cafe, 612 Vine St., We'll Have the Pennant in 1903, Home Team Management, Now Boys Root!!!" Some wear at button's edges does little to detract from its appearance. Buttons such as this one from the Teens are very difficult to find; those from the first decade of the Twentieth Century are all but impossible. The only known specimen.
