The company is WGN, which can be deduced from Kyle’s great research. And Mark is spot on with the date, due to the Cubs pennant from this very limited series. A couple of notes which I believe I touched on a long while ago. First, the logos from this series can be found on the back cover of “Inside Baseball for Little Leaguers”, with copyright 1956. Interesting to see all the pennant logos except a couple ... notably the Reds mad bomber was replaced by the mustached guy that Keezer used.

Secondly, as a side note, for four years I owned and managed a team in a summer collegiate league, with nickname Giants. So where did I get the idea for my logo?
