I also note the initials "W C" inside the baseball which neither sounds like a pennant maker nor concessionaire I'm familiar with. Perhaps these belong to the artist?

I have no idea what the W C means. You're the expert!
You are also the Trench expert. Yes, that font was used on a ton of pennants. That batter was also used on a ton of Giants pennants but usually with what I call the "cartoon" font.
First, the common font with the universal batter and next, a couple of examples with the 1962 batter and the cartoon font. Note both the early and later enclosed Candlestick Park. Finally, that batter is very similar to the 1958 pennants showing Seals Stadium.
More detective work for ya!
