Default Unique?
Picked this up locally and haven’t seen this pennant before or really anything from the team. 18 inches long (not including tassels). Felt.

The Victoria Athletics were a Western International League baseball team based in Victoria, British Columbia that existed from 1946 to 1951. From 1947 to 1949, they were affiliated with the New York Yankees. They played their home games at Royal Athletic Park. Gil McDougald played for them.


The Western International League was a mid- to higher-level minor league baseball circuit in the northwest United States and western Canada. Informally known as the "Willy" loop, it operated in 1922, 1937–1942, and 1946–1954. In 1955, the league changed its name to the Northwest League, and still operates today as a Class A-Short Season loop under that name.

I love it! Especially the batter graphic. Very unique!

Well that’s certainly a rare one...

I love the look as well. And while it’s perhaps not a recommended batting stance, I love the Batter graphic too.

Nice find!

Looks like he was tied up in knots, and caught looking on a wicked slider.

Was able to acquire this 1945 Cubs World Series pennant which goes great with the other ones I have.
