Exactly... details be damned...
The same Bunting Batter image was also used for the only known St. Louis Browns Oversized Pennant and a Miracle Braves Pennant that I have. It was also used on an issue of Baseball Magazine. I loved the "crossed bats" motif on the Chisox Pennant, but heard that his unusual bunting technique led to some broken fingers.
