I tend to agree with Mark on the oversized pennant being a Cubs rather than Bears. The Cubs used adult bears as a mascot for years, especially the early years. And since the Bears weren't around pre 1920, seems more likely to be a Cubs version.

Baseball's appeal isn't complicated or confusing. It's about the beauty of the game; it's about heroes and family and friends; it's about being part of something larger than yourself, about tradition---receiving it and passing it; and it's about holding on to a bit of your childhood.
