Ooops… I almost forgot about this one.

To locate a photo of this Single-day Exhibition Pennant from 1915 was beyond a "needle in a haystack". Many thanks to the venerable Dave E. of our forum, for amazingly finding and sharing it!

Almost gives me chills to think that this pennant was displayed in those very stands in 1915, to watch Matty pitch against the likes of Crawford, Veach and Cobb!

What's the reason for this game exactly? Was it a mid-season fundraiser for ... the war effort?

It made me curious too, I found this......can you imagine that happening now...a company giving employees off with full pay to go watch a ball game....
