Leavenworth Pins and Buttons

Minor league baseball teams were based in Leavenworth, Kansas in various seasons between 1886 and 1949. Leavenworth teams played as members of the Western League (1886–1888), Kansas State League (1895), Missouri Valley League (1903–1904) and Western Association (1905–1907, 1946–1949). Leavenworth played in the 1907 Western Association as the Leavenworth Convicts. The moniker corresponds to Leavenworth being home of the United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth, which opened in 1903. The 1907 Leavenworth Convicts finished 29–108, placing a distant eighth in the Western Association, 71.0 games out of first place. The team folded following the 1907 season.

Back when Bubba Clinton was in charge someone got the bright idea to take away the traditional headgear of the U.S. Army, the patrol cap, and replace it with a beret. And not just any beret, but a BLACK beret. Rather than pick a color not in use they picked the color used by the Rangers... and Lewinsky.
