BTW, Adam and Mike,
I believe that there is also a Bob Feller version of this pennant. I have a letter from Bob Feller to Ford outlining the details of an exhibition game between his Great Lakes Naval squad and the Ford nine.
Have either of you ever seen such a pennant?
If you'd like, I can dig out the letter and post it.
