I’ve never seen the American League version. I’ve had hat pennant twice over the years, but I haven’t even seen one of those in years. That’s in nice shape too. Nice pennant.

Thanks, Jason. I’ve never seen the AL version either but figured if one exists, this group would know [emoji3166]

It appears that there was a 1971 World Series Championship pennant made for Steve Blass day in Canaan CT. The last census indicates there are less than 4000 residents in Canaan. Due to this I can't believe many of these were produced. Has anybody here ever seen one of these in person?

Two years later I finally landed this one tonight thanks to a huge assist from Rob (ooo-Ribay)! After doing a bit of research I learned that in 1970 there were 931 residents in Canaan Ct. This was likely the only opportunity I would ever have to add one of these to my collection. I owe you one Rob! I can’t wait to have it in my hands.

All right!!!!

Glad you got it, Mike! To say beautiful and rare pennant would be an understatement. Congrats!

The Blass pennant went to the proper home! Sure wish I could get that Holy Grail feeling!

It’s in damn nice shape, but maybe a little Oxy…….? :cool:

Very cool pennant, Erik!

I cheaped out on a JR NY Giants pennant and I’m kicking myself. :mad:
