That's what ceilings are for!

And Rubbermaid bins, huh?

Bins, for sure. But mine are all Sterlite brand. Sterlite's bins (back when I bought them) were just big enough that I could store the pennants facing both ways (thus fitting twice as many into a bin). But I'm sure they've changed since then.

Mark, I like how you've stored those bins in your cabinet (as seen in your youtube video). I managed to pick up something similar in the UK but it's not wide enough to fit 2 pennants side by side. The hunt continues.

BTW, Part 2 of the ASG Pennant series was excellent. A series on the World Series pennants could be a great follow up.

While not as artistic as the 1969 Shea ASG pennant shown in the latest TSOG, this unknown maker is probably my most colorful Giants. Six colors.

Rob, from about what time would this style pennant have been?

Very definitely early 60’s. There is a very similar pennant for the 1962 NL Champs.

Very nice Rob....

That's the first one I've seen with orange cloth. Typically that pennant is black.... right?

The Giants really were ambitious and adventurous with these early to mid-60s pennants. Very unique maker and atypical manufacturing process.

Love it!

That particular pennant I have in white and green, also. I’ve seen blue. Marc may have that one. When this style morphed with “batter in the moon/ball” it was typically (always?) black.

Thanks Gary....

Your bin has some good depth to it, so I bet it stores about the same number of pennants as mine. I just prefer the shallow ones because it's easier to rifle through them when you don't have to dig so deep down.

Thanks also for your input on the videos. There's still one final All-Star Game Pennant segment that will air this Friday.

Great idea on doing a segment on World Series Pennants. We will definitely plan to do that, though I don't know when. There's a bunch of other stuff on the horizon that we've partially taped. But I have already put your suggestion on the list of future episodes. Thanks for watching!
