Thanks Lou...

I like the Chief Wahoo atop the Giant's Foot (to commemorate the '54 World Series). Other favorites are the Milwaukee Braves "Tom Tom Club" Bank, the regular Philadelpia Athletics Elephant and the St. Louis Browns Pixie. I think G-C's weakest effort was the Senators Bank, closely followed by that goofy White Sox "Whitey" character. These look like they were crudely made by some kid in a 4th grade ceramics class.

On the football side, I like the Eagles Bank best, as well as the 1954 Brownie with his foot on the dead Lion's Head. I heard there was a similar piece from 1955 (with a dead Ram's Head), but have never seen it.
