If you were around the Bay Area in the early 1980s, you can probably still hear the radio jingle in your head "Billy Ball, A's baseball, why's everybody always picking on me?"
Also known as the Shooty Babbit era … lol

I almost posted this in response to the Billy Ball pennant, but because it's completely off topic on a pennant thread, I didn't.

But, mention of Shooty Babbit forces my hand and it's completely on topic for Billy Ball.

This took me a bunch of games at the Coliseum in 1981 (each a 200 mile round trip drive) to put together.

Note how most of the signatures are readable, with barely any overlap, it was a different time.

For me the key is Mike Norris, who was very stingy with his autographs, I won him over by calling him Cy Young instead of Mr. Norris, an award he deserved to win the previous year.

I’m not sure why I keep finding late 50s Braves pennants but here’s another one that I just picked up. This is the less valuable “with Spahn“ version but it’s still a beauty. Look at those names!

I like it. I wonder if it was meant to be monochromatic or if it just missed getting additional screenings. The latter definitely happens.

I’m not sure, but I feel like it has a classic, simple look to it

Nice pickup... I've seen it both ways (monochromatic and colored) and yours is rarer. Condition looks great too... this type is often found beaten up. Great score!
