My vote is football. Pretty hard to refute the evidence. The bum is kicking a football. Don't see a bat or glove in his luggage.

"Bums" was a pretty ubiquitous term back in the depression. Didn't the baseball Dodgers earn the nickname by being a bad team? The football Dodgers had only 4 winning seasons in 14 years during that era and easily could've earned the nickname as well...only not as popularly.

The material the pennant is made of gives me pause, but the graphic trumps it.

What's in the bum's left hand? And what are those "poofs"? Smoke?

Love these mysteries!

Fantastic! Guess that solves the mystery of the material.

Great stuff!!!! Thanks to everybody. Now I am a bit disappointed, primarily because it is from the 1960s. But still it is great to know.

Now let’s solve the mysteries of why the Phillies don’t have a stadium pennant and the Cubs never had a team picture pennant.

Not the traditional team photo pennant. But they have a few from 1969. here is one example

Nice! Now, what is it about the Cubs (and even White Sox) with their team pictures being just players’ heads, like on this pennant. I’m thinking now primarily about baseball team cards (Topps) from the 70s. Some didn’t even show necks, just disembodied heads. No other team, but the Cubs did it often and also the Sox. There has to be an explanation!

Thanks for sharing the pic ...
