Your question is not specific enough. You might find the World Series pin you are looking for at the Vintage Baseball Pins link I left below, or you may contact me with more details of the pin. I also Have a lot of information on World Series Press Pins.
Press Pins which have been distributed since 1911, are distributed to members of the media by the host teams for the World Series games. The press pins are made to be worn on the lapel to provide reporters access to cover the game. Below is a link to a price guide listing the year issued, team, manufacturer, Type of Press Pin (fastener), and price range. Prices for the World Series Press pins are based on recently closed auctions.

Babe Ruth did not start his Major League career until 1914. He did not play in a World Series until 1916 with the Red Sox. World Series Press pins would have been issued in 1916, and not for a player but for the team. It could have been years before a souvenir pin was issued or sold for the then unknown player Babe Ruth. You will have to be more accurate in describing the pin you have. The pin you have could not have been from 1913 or a press pin.
Would have to be more specific but sounds like a pin from the WW1/WW2 era
This is the Honorable Discharge Pin. It was given to soldiers to wear on their uniform so that they could continue to wear their uniform after their discharge. The pin would signify to other soldiers (mainly officers) that he was not on active duty and did not have to obey orders or at least not all of the mundane stuff. The eagle in the circle of the pin looks kinda like a duck so the GI's referred to this pin as "the ruptured duck". It was awarded either as a lapel pin or a patch. The patch was usually worn above the RIGHT breast pocket. The patch was issued in different color material and color thread depending on the branch of service---Army or Navy.
"Per Ardua ad Astra" means "Through adversity to the stars."
