Gorodki Badge - Taz - 03-29-2004
Guys,
I found this 1st place Medal quite interesting.
It is described as a 1930's (Baseballi ?) Medal for the Leninabad Region (Armenien).

Eddie,
It's not a Baseball. In 1930 Russia did not know what Baseball is, and even if they knew it was a Capitalist's sport (US plaid it).
This Badge is for another sport. The name of this sport is "Gorodki".

Thanks Eric,
For clearing that one up, I don't know why the seller describes it as a Baseballi Medal and not Baseball or as we now know "Gorodki" Medal.
I somehow couldn't imagine the Leningrad White Sox playing the Moscow Cubs or somthing of that nature. :)
