The Pennant

The Pennant is a symbolic flag awarded annually to the team that wins over 50% of their games in a Major League Baseball (MLB) division. It represents their division championship and qualifies them for the playoffs. The term originally comes from a triangular-shaped flag used in sailing, but in baseball, it signifies team excellence within their division. Winning the Pennant is a significant achievement, showcasing consistent performance over the season, and often leads to competing for the World Series title.
