The term "Pennant" when was it first used

Hi, does anyone know when in baseball the expression "winning the pennant" was first used?

Or was it used since day 1 back in the 1903 World Series?

And why exactly was the term used? Just looking for a simple explanantion from any baseball history buffs.
