Released in 2006 at the Disneyland Resort, this pin is part of the Major League Baseball series, which celebrated the intersection of America's favorite pastime and iconic Disney characters. Mickey Mouse, who made his debut in the 1928 short 'Steamboat Willie,' is depicted here in a generic baseball pose that highlights his timeless appeal as a mascot for sports-themed merchandise.
