Thanks all!

Scott...

I did have that info on Swayne Field and the Overland Company (thanks to a great Net54 thread a few years ago). For 2 years, Overland sponsored a Major League Exhibition Game in their home town of Toledo. 1914 was Athletics/Cubs. 1915 was Giants/Tigers.

They brought in major stars of the day like Cobb, Mathewson, Bender, Collins, Tinker, Evers, Chance, etc.... strictly as a "thank you" to their employees and their families! Can you imagine that happening today?

Here is the A's/Cubs Pennant from the 1914 Game...

Awesome!! No, I can't imagine that at all...

All these pennants are amazing! I love them. Thanks for posting. I like various vintage stuff and as soon as I saw that pennant (thanks Mark!) I knew I wanted to try to get it.

Didn't bid enough. And I knew it but as someone else felt - this pennant wasn't as graphically interesting to me as other oldies I've seen. I do like the purple version better too.

I thought I'd post my only pennant below. I actually have a few Negro league pennants but don't consider them as interesting.

Great pennants guys. I also love photos of fans in the stands holding the pennants - anyone have any of those to post?

take care

peter

This one is newer and was on Ebay if I remember correctly, but this boy is so proud of his beloved Yankees. Hopefully this attachment works.

I agree, although I might consider a different waistline approach for Skippy. Perhaps strapping the belt around the waist, instead of the upper stomach would be good ?

Just sayin'...

Not the best look...maybe it's a young Fred Mertz.

Today, that kid would be sporting those low baggy pants, with the gut pushing that waistline waaaaay down.

Exactly what I thought when I first saw the photo! Here I was thinking that it was something about old age that made guys start wearing their pants like that, but it appears that at least some just do it out of years of habit
