And, I know we discussed this before, but what's with the Spanish language on these 1960s Cardinals pennants? El Birdos??  |
“Copyright 1968 Incentives Corporation”
“Amadee” is the first name of the cartoonist who drew the graphic. Here is a button for sale on eBay which gives some more background.

While this seems to credit the phrase “El Birdos” and “El Cardos” to Orlando Cepeda, my understanding is that they were coined by the Cardinals third base coach, Joe Schultz (who later managed the Pilots). The Cardinals collectors here would know more.
