A few others have them for 1-2 years (Senators, Giants?), others run the whole decade. Phillies have at least 13 different ones from 1960-69.
There's at at least one Astros Team Photo pennant thought the photo is silk screened rather than a photo glued to the pennant). It was from 1978.

The Tigers have some great photo pennants but my favorite team photo pennant is the 74 Red Sox.

I've catalogued 50 different team photo pennants (though I know there's many that I've missed). This is the breakdown:
  • LA Dodgers 13 (1960, 1962, 1963 - 4 variations, 1965 - 2 variations, 1966, 1967, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1977, 1978 - 2 variations)
  • Cincinnati Reds 9 (1960, 1961 - 3 variations, 1967, 1973, 1975 - 2 variations, 1976
  • Detroit Tigers 9 (1960, 1964, 1966, 1967, 1968 - 2 variations, 1969, 1971, 1972, 1973,
  • Chicago White Sox 6 (1959 - 2 variations, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965)
  • Baltimore Orioles 5 (1963, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970)
  • Boston Red Sox 4 (1967, 1968, 1970, 1974(
  • California Angels 1 (1963)
  • Houston Astros 1 (1978)
  • Kansas City Royals 1 (1980)
