To locate a photo of this Single-day Exhibition Pennant from 1915 was beyond a "needle in a haystack". Many thanks to Peter F of our forum, for amazingly finding it. He's about the best early baseball researcher I know.

Almost gives me chills to think that this pennant was displayed in those very stands in 1915, to watch Matty pitch against the likes of Crawford, Veach and Cobb!
What's the reason for this game exactly? Was it a mid-season fundraiser for ... the war effort?

There’s a cool pic in an old Legendary catalog, used to establish authenticity of one of their pennants ... I asked on another thread for help finding it.

That is super-cool!

It is neat to wonder about the “travels” of our old pennants. Were they waved at a WS game 100 years ago? How many people owned it? Was it bought and packed away in an attic for 100 years?

Your pic pretty well establishes the answer to that 1915 pennant, I doubt they were sold anywhere else or on any other date.

I probably bought that photo 20 years ago, and it was stored in a binder that I hadn't looked through for quite a while. But I was chatting with Kyle about Dodger pennants, and remembered seeing one pictured somewhere in a photo. And there it was. I would gladly trade the photo for the pennant .

Haven’t seen these before. Common? Apologies for the terribly small pics.

Chris...

Those are both fairly prevalent. I believe there was a "find" of the 1966 pennant, that was likely unsold stock from that World Series. As a result, many of them are still found in NRMT-MINT condition. The 1965 Twins version is quite a bit rarer than the '66 Orioles.

Here it is... I've only seen this, and one other in the last 30+ years. To say it's rare is an understatement. It was obviously made after the Dodgers won the pennant, and sold during the 1959 World Series. Had to be a very limited production run for this one...

I haven't found the photo published anywhere, but I did find an article in the Sporting News describing a celebration party in Chicago at the Conrad Hilton on Oct 8, right after the Dodgers won the WS (remember, these were all day games back then). The article says "eight players wives, and the entire Dodger office staff, had been flown in the day before". I can't find any reference to a Dodger party in LA, only a reception at the airport when they flew back. So that Dodger pennant was probably a Chicago version, which may explain its scarcity.

I love that pennant, even if it is...you know who.
