The 1953 MLB Tour of Japan, known as the Ed Lopat Tour, featured a number of big league stars, including Yogi Berra, Enos Slaughter, Eddie Mathews, Nellie Fox, Robin Roberts and of course, Lopat himself. The all stars won 11 of 12 games played, losing only to Mainichi Orions Hall
of Fame pitcher, Atsushi Aramaki. It is not known whether this pin was a press pin, or an item issued to players and/or dignitaries on the Tour. "U.S./Japan All Stars" is inscribed on the enameled front in Japanese. The year and name of the sponsoring newspaper are found on the
back.
