The room's progress has been put on hold, but do note... Every Dodgers pennant you see is Brooklyn. You will not see an LA pennant on the wall. I (begrudgingly) acknowledge the Brooklyn Dodgers as an iconic franchise, but that's where it ends. The 1970s Reds despised the Dodgers almost as much as the Giants did... Maybe even more at the time. The rivalry was intense back when the Reds were actually viable, and both teams were in the NL West.
That was the Giants' "down time" era, but you've certainly had the last laugh in recent years. I may not live to see another winning season in Cincy  |
I lived in Ohio in the 1970s. I remember watching the Carlton Fisk WS foul pole homer as I sat in a bar at Ohio University. I was one of the few rooting for the Sox. The first six years of the 1980s were also a "down time" for the Giants!
