1962 San Francisco Giants Baseball Pennant Vintage with Pin Button

The Giants, along with their rival Los Angeles Dodgers, became the first Major League Baseball teams to play on the West Coast. On April 15, 1958, the Giants played their first game in San Francisco, defeating the former Brooklyn and now Los Angeles Dodgers, 8–0. The Giants played for two seasons at Seals Stadium (from 1931 to 1957, the stadium was the home of the PCL’s San Francisco Seals) before moving to Candlestick Park in 1960. The Giants played at Candlestick Park until 1999, before opening Pacific Bell Park (now known as Oracle Park) in 2000, where the Giants currently play.

Presented is a vintage 1962 San Francisco Giants pennant. Amazingly, the franchise’s star attraction, Willie Mays, was still providing the punch and power of the Giants’ line-up ten years later, when the second pennant was being sold at Candlestick. The orange pennant with Candlestick showcased is full-sized, with some pin holes from display. Also pinned to it is a vintage orange Giants button. Overall pieced together as a wonderful vintage display.
