The 1953 World Series ended on Oct. 5, 1953, so this pennant is dated only 5-6 weeks after (11-14-53) so, a tribute of some kind? Brooklyn had a pretty good size Italian population then, so maybe some old country relatives were fans? I have no real idea.

Edited to add- The Dodgers went 105-49 that year but lost the World Series to the Yankees 4 games to 2. (I'm not sure, but I don't think A-Rod had any hits in that series either.)
