Why Baseball Teams Love Trading Pins
Baseball trading pins have become essential at youth tournaments. When your team walks into Cooperstown Dreams Park or any major tournament, trading pins serve as your calling card—sparking conversations and friendships with teams from across the country.
Beyond the social aspect, custom pins commemorate your season. Players treasure them for years, displaying them on lanyards or in shadow boxes as tangible memories of their baseball journey. For coaches and parents, pins show team pride while staying on budget.
Where Teams Trade Pins
Cooperstown Dreams Park is the ultimate destination for pin trading, where teams from across the country gather for week-long tournaments. Little League World Series regional and state championships see heavy trading activity.
Travel ball teams participating in USSSA, Perfect Game, and Triple Crown circuits use pins to mark their journey. Many teams also create commemorative pins for championships, all-star selections, or special team milestones.
Choosing the Right Pin Size
For 8U-10U teams (Little League Minors): We recommend 1.25-1.5 inch pins. Perfect for younger players with simpler designs that don't require excessive detail.
For 11U-13U teams (Little League Majors): The 1.5 inch size is most popular. It's the sweet spot that provides space for team names, mascots, and player numbers while staying affordable when ordering 200-300 pins.
For 14U+ teams (High School, Babe Ruth): Teams often choose 1.75-2 inch pins for intricate designs and detailed mascots. Larger pins make a bigger statement but cost more per pin.
