Net54baseball.com Forums - Hey, pennant guys

I haven't found the photo published anywhere, but I did find an article in the Sporting News describing a celebration party in Chicago at the Conrad Hilton on Oct 8, right after the Dodgers won the WS (remember, these were all day games back then). The article says "eight players wives, and the entire Dodger office staff, had been flown in the day before". I can't find any reference to a Dodger party in LA, only a reception at the airport when they flew back. So that Dodger pennant was probably a Chicago version, which may explain its scarcity.

That's a great point, and a very logical assumption. It certainly does resemble the artwork used for the Go-Go Sox pennants of the exact same time frame. I bet it was indeed the Chicago/Comiskey Park version of the Dodgers Pennant.

Those are both fairly prevalent. I believe there was a "find" of the 1966 pennant, that was likely unsold stock from that World Series. As a result, many of them are still found in NRMT-MINT condition. The 1965 Twins version is quite a bit rarer than the '66 Orioles.

Thanks Mark!

I love that pennant, even if it is...you know who. :cool:

A few more...You have to look closely at the Pirates crowd...There are a few in there with the Beat'em Bucs most prominent. And also at the second Jackie Robinson pic to find the haphazard way he stores his pennants. ;)

A few photo pennants and a scroll in that Pirates crowd shot. That Fernando Valenzuela pennant isn't a stunner....but I don't think I've ever seen one come up for sale. Not that I'd buy it..

This was the scene outside Reina's Delicatessen, 95th St. and 4th Ave., Brooklyn, NY on the day Brooklyn won its first and only championship in October of 1955.

Among all the jubilant children, one girl is seen on the floor, crying. Someone called her out by inscribing the notation, "GIANT FAN --> " on the photo beside her (I swear it wasn't me).

Anyway, two cool Dodger pennants by Trench in the window....

“Bobfreedman” was kind enough to find this picture from the Occidental Hotel, October 1924 dinner to celebrate the Senators’ WS win. Hard to see the pennants on display but these are all the same, and one is also pictured below. Now this was in a Legendary catalog when a fancier version of this pennant fetched a mint (everything same except there was a Walter J. graphic inside the baseball and the laces in the ball ran vertical.

I don't know of any other '24 Senators pennants, does anyone else?

As a side note, does anyone recall the similarity between this and a 1925 Pirates pennant?

I don't recall your pennant, but I do remember the other one you describe as well as the Pirates version. All sweet pennants.
