Thanks everyone for reading. A friend of mine made an interesting point recently, that the Red Sox franchise was not doing well at all in the 1960s. In 1965, they averaged a pathetic 8,000 fans a game at Fenway. This went up to 10k in '66 and 21k in '67. In some ways, the 67 season doesn't get enough credit because they didn't win it all, which had a lot to do with a guy named Bob Gibson.
In any event, here is the rolled-up pennant almost 55 years later. The thing is a scientific marvel. My dad and I had to team up to pry it open so we could get the second photo.
