This LH batter is ubiquitous on Giants pennants....whether he is standing in front of the Golden Gate, a scroll, no background or whatever.
Is this same silhouette used on other teams' pennants?

Yes...

The Houston Astros used this Batter image alongside the Astrodome. Cleveland Indians also used the same Batter in their famous 1954 "Lopez Limited" Champions Pennant.
But it's most commonly seen on Giants Pennants, as you pointed out above.

Boston used the lefty batter as well.

"Our" lefty batter was seldom shown in a stadium. In this pennant he was. This is a fairly tough pennant....the stadium motif is common, but usually with a different LH batter.

There's some incredible looking pennants in this thread.I'm not a pennant guy,but I picked up this mini pennant (4" x 1 1/2" inch).I was hoping someone could tell me if this is a common mini-pennant.I believe it's from the mid 1940's.

Your small pennant is from an un-cataloged set of Leader Candy co. pennants from the 40s.

I like the hanging pennants. Here are a few of my favorites.

Those are way cool! "My" Giants have had guys to claim all those titles but have never been memorialized with hanging pennants. Do you think yours are a regional, Wincraft thing? :confused:

Boy that's a sweet Carew pennant! To answer the question too, they are all from Winona MN like the other photos pennants. These are all much, much rarer than the other regular photo pennants.
