Front Description
This distinctly Canadian design showing a left-handed Mickey Mouse up to bat, Mickey is turned forward, face and upper body turned to the left as if facing a pitcher, bat ready to swing. He looks to the left. Mickey is white-faced with solid black eyes, white shirt with blue trim, red baseball pants, blue and white shoes, and gold hat with blue bill and red highlights, including a Canada red maple leaf. His bat is a light brown with blue trademark. Slightly open mouth in a smile.
The pin measures 1 1/8" (29 mm) tall and wide. The reverse has a post with single nub, waffle pattern, and "(c) WALT DISNEY CO., AMK OFFICIAL LICENSE."
Possibly released during the lead-up to the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, as there are other pin designs with similar backstamps.
