1. Mr. Red Riding a Bat above Crosley Field
2. Mullin Giant inside of the Polo Grounds
3. "A New Home" with Bum dreaming of Dodger Stadium
4. KC Athletics Dumbo-like Elephant towering above Municipal Stadium
5. Milwaukee Braves with screaming Brave above County Stadium
6. Dodgers with Mullin Bum inside Ebbets Field
7. Cardinals with Batting Bird above Sportsman's Park
8. Tigers with full-body leaping Tiger above Briggs Stadium
9. Cardinals with sullen Bird Head above Busch Stadium
10. Huge Mr. Red stretching high above Crosley Field

Honorable Mention:
11. Angels with Angel mascot atop Chavez Ravine
12. Indians with earlier Big Nose Chief Wahoo above "The Mistake on the Lake"

Wish I could attach pics, but this new computer is a b*tch
Great list. Love the “sullen Cardinal”, you’d think he’d be happy to be featured on a pennant. Yes that Redlegs version you mention is awesome. Kyle’s research helps date it … I have one with the TMC mark which suggests late 50s. Others have the little SS baseball. The Ebbets and Polo Grounds pennants also have the TMC mark. …. Cubs Wrigley pennant is underwhelming ….
