If you want to find out if someone has been working in sports for a while you can usually tell if they have an unusual amount of lanyards. It’s funny to remember that a person usually has to pay to commemorate their visit to a ballpark or an event with a little trinket for their keys or various ID badges.
But if you know someone who has worked in sports, more often than not, we’re drowning in them. Drawers literally overflowing with lanyards, passes, IDs from places that a lot of fans only get to visit maybe once or twice a year.
