Now with 469 pennants and corrections.

Gary,

I love this idea and think documenting it the way you suggest makes a lot of sense. I’ve tossed around a similar idea in the past, but I don’t have enough time to take this head-on. But I’m happy to help!

I think other fields we could consider is something like decade/date range, as a level of detail higher than a specific year as not all pennant years are known. This could auto populate as a simple calc if a year is input, and default to NULL if a specific year isn’t entered (overridden as required). Also, perhaps league and or sport if we bring in other sports. I think having football (rob has this really well documented) and even basketball + hockey would be fun...but I may have just doubled the length of the data set

At any rate, I think this is great. Documenting this electronically with the previously mentioned attributes will add tremendous value to the community to easily group by, sort, filter, etc.

Count me in!

I find it interesting that the same company (WGN) made three different distinct styles for the 1951 ASG. Not sure if Baskin Robbins had yet been in business, but were there even three different flavors of ice cream back then?

I notice a few football pennants snuck into the document. New York Bulldogs and Yankees. No complaints from me, but maybe we want to keep football and baseball separate?

I'm planning to keep this to just baseball for now. I don't think I have the time for other sports just now. Honestly, I just didn't know about those 2 so left them in for the moment until I could look up the background.

Two new ‘69 Mets pennants just arrived. This makes 8 or 9 now ... pic pennant is ASCO and scroll is Trench

Nice, Greg. “8 or 9” 1969’s?

Nice pennants. I always have a soft spot for the Miracle mets.

I have another draft of the catalog available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14wD...ew?usp=sharing

Thanks for all the updates. I'm still working through the various google photo albums. The catalog is now up to 618 entries and growing.

As a bit of fun to add some competition into the mix, this the Top 10 most populated Teams/Events in the catalog:

75 San Francisco Giants
54 Chicago Cubs
40 Brooklyn Dodgers
39 New York Giants
37 New York Yankees
35 Detroit Tigers
26 World Series
22 All-Star Game
22 Los Angeles Dodgers
21 Houston Astros

Thanks! Yeah there are a few more I don’t have. Will put up pics soon. Gary has some pics of my ‘69 Mets in his spreadsheet
