I believe it’s the same company that made the Athletics pennant that you nicely reproduced and featured on your blog. Also pictured a left handed pitcher. I used to own that, many years ago, it also had the continuous loops for tassels.

The BBCs are in a class of their own …

Wowza! I'd love to know the story, but then you'd have to kill me. I'll trust your expertise in adjudging this genuine, but color me at least a little skeptical from a distance. Strange they wouldn't have made the player a righty for WaJo in his greatest season and following his second greatest the year before. Overall, a mind-boggling acquisition. Congrats!

I need to find friends like yours. That's an amazing pennant.

It’s definitely authentic and of the time, the construction and feel of the pennant all point to that. My guess is that this was a generic graphic that may have been used for other teams.

The hits have been few and far between lately but what nicer way to break out of a slump than with a home run.

Or more appropriately, a touchdown!

As you know, those pennants do exist. Mecum has sold some old motorcycle pennants. I only search Giants pennants but some guys in this thread are constantly searching pennants in general. I wouldn’t doubt someone will give you a lead.
