Net54baseball.com Forums - Hey, pennant guys

Here's a few more from the 1950s....

1. Walter Alston hired as new manager, November 24, 1953.
2. Ebbets Field sold to real estate developer, 1956 (note the same wind-tattered "BROOKLYN" flag flying outside the facade).
3. Walter O'Malley campaigning for Proposition "B" and new stadium proposal at Chavez Ravine, June 1958 (with pennant topping diagram).
4. Close-up of pennant depicting Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, as seen in the above photo. Another holy grail of sorts....

Many thanks for posting that incredible pic of O'Malley...

Great to know it's a first-year LA Dodgers Pennant. Actually, a pre-first year LA pennant!

Great stuff.... below is my example.

I see the Yankees version in Egner’s Guide. How do we know it’s 1942?

Of course you own it :)

Honestly, I've never seen one for sale. On yours, it almost looks like the graphic was multi-colored originally--what do you think?

Yeah, I see what you mean...

I suppose it's possible, but think it was made this way. There is no fading whatsoever to the felt, as it remains a very deep blue. Hard to believe the graphic portions could fade that much, if they were once colored.

It's an interesting pennant... really different from anything else the Dodgers put out.

Haha... sorry about that, Mike! I could not get the picture to load, and when I finally did, you'd already asked the question.

Would love to see any other examples of teams that used this graphic. It's just a classic image!
