Hey, pennant guys

[perezfan]

I swear I've seen a similar Dodgers pennant with the LaBrea Tar Pits on it. Olvera Street and Graumann's Chinese were also depicted on that one. Been a long time, but I know I've seen it.

I remember thinking, "How could the La Brea Tar Pits even make the cut for a pennant like that?"

These days, when they are in LA, every TV show and televised sporting event shows the Santa Monica Pier with its ferris wheel. But in 1963, if you put that on a pennant, everyone would have thought "Hey, Coney Island".

How do you depict a "tar pit"? That can't be easy, unless you have the pennant release an odiferous smell.

The renderings of tar pits I've seen typically have a Woolly Mammoth stuck in it..with a Saber Toothed Tiger licking his chops nearby and Pterodactyl hovering above.

Or a vulture with a Woolly Rhinoceros.

This would look sweet on a Dodgers pennant...or a Yankees.

The funniest thing about the Dodgers pennant may be that they decided to write Yankee Stadium on it. Too funny. Also, as a California native, it's hard to see citrus fruit in that image. I see Thanksgiving squash.

NFL Game of the week, Week 11, 1963. The great Tom Brookshier with two great pennants. But it looks like they ripped off the tassels!!!

About a month ago, two of these orange Giants pennants sold on ebay (about 5 minutes after being listed). The black version of this pennant is very common, but the Orange is tough. I have one, but it has a really funny cut and I have been looking for another. I contacted a few people to see if they bought them, but everyone said no.

A few days before Xmas, one shows up at my door in the mail out of nowhere. It turns out that my sister had been looking to buy me a pennant for xmas and bought a Santa Clara pennant through ebay from pennantdynasty (Matt). She was having it shipped to me. When Matt saw where the pennant was going, he told her that I already had the Santa Clara pennant and that I'd much rather have this Giants pennant (that I has just emailed him about). So, thanks to Matt and my sister for getting in to me.
