“Next up was a watch fob, the championship pendant awarded to members of that 1924 world title-winning outfit. The World Series ring wasn’t always a staple of post-title celebrations, Odell explained; some champions chose a watch, or a lapel pin, or various other sorts of 1920s bling.
The Senators’ 1924 jewelry showed the Capitol Dome flanked by a pair of eagles, resting atop two crossed baseball bats. In the middle of those bats was a baseball, with a diamond plopped in its center. The Hall of Fame’s watch fob came from then-commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis. (Commissioners annually receive a World Series ring, or lapel pin, or watch fob, and then by tradition donate it to the Hall of Fame).”
