Hey, pennant guys

[ooo-ribay]

I just picked up (and probably overpaid for) a 3/4 version of the LH batter and bridge. Being only 3" shorter, this is really the 9/10th version . Again, the 9/10th version has a different "F" than is ever seen on the full size versions.

I also just picked up this little "chrome" charm to go with the "bronze-ish" pin I already had. This is the same Giant seen on various NY and SF pennants.

Fascinating to see an entire run of these little gumball pins for the original 16 franchises--I guess they're gumball issues, not sure if anybody's proved that--pop up on eBay, a collection that had to take a while for somebody to put together. Quite hard to come by, as are their metal twins as shown. Love this kind of oddball stuff.

There are also subtle differences in the bridge cables, significant enough to suggest a different screen.

That’s the weird thing….you would think they somehow would have “shrunk” the screen. Not sure how they would have done that in the 1960s but I’m remembering those overhead projectors from elementary school….
