content: Pinback button for the Cuban All-Stars Baseball team. There were two clubs claiming the name of "Cuban Stars", one established in the American mid-west in 1907 and one in the New York/New Jersey area, which began play in 1916. The teams both started as independent travelling teams before joining the Negro Leagues, and both ceased play around 1930. A new team, the New York Cubans joined the second National League in 1935-1936 and from 1939-1950. It is believed this button represents this last incarnation.
