Well, sorry about the confusion. The good news is I think you have at least one genuine Wrigley Field scoreboard mast flag. But I do think it's the purple/"SAN FRANCISCO" flag.
The fact that it's 3' x 6' and not 2.5' doesn't concern me. Today, after decades of expansion, there's more team flags to cram onto that mast. So, it makes sense that, today, scoreboard flags are 6" shorter in height.
Buy your pennant looks old. Such flags were likely bigger decades ago when they only had like 16 team flags to fly up there.
And the "D" rings make it clear this flag flew at Wrigley--and not Jack Murphy Stadium, or any other ballpark that sported team flags on their rooftop. Why else would you use "D" rings if you weren't planning to link the flags together? I can't think of any other ballpark where they did/do this.
I'm not gonna ask what you paid for it but I'm guessing way cheaper than a modern-day Wrigley/Giants flag authenticated by Steiner...?
