Pennant

One World Champions baseball pennant won by the Detroit Tigers in 1945. The large triangular swallowtail pennant is made of heavyweight red/blue/white cotton fabric. The center field is dark blue with a red band sewn along the perimeter. White fabric letters, 15-inch high, are sewn across the blue field and read "World Champions, 1945, Detroit Tigers." The hoist edge is reinforced with white canvas tape and includes a length of rope that is sewn inside the tape. Small loops are located at each end of the rope for attachment to a flagpole halyard. Also, metal grommets are located along the tape at the upper and lower pennant corners and at the middle.
