Bill… REALLY like the Brooksie sign; great pickup. What is the size of the sign?

I used to get pennants as a kid and had them in a circle around my ceiling and one on the wall. Mainly picked them up at O’s games at Memorial and tried to get the pennant of the other team they were playing as well to display. I had stuff everywhere in my room (do still have my Brooks SI Poster with tack holes all over the place). Of course most of my pennants have been lost or disposed of over the years. Charlie’s pennants, that he’s posting, are almost making me want to start collecting these all over again.

I would be remis if I did not mention today marks the 1 year anniversary of Brooks Robinson’s death. He died on 26 September 2024 at the age of 86. I attended his memorial ceremony at OPACY a few days later. I was sad to see there were no programs at the Memorialbut did save my bottle cap from the service at the Yard. Look at the shelf display to left. The memorial was very nice. Today I am Including some pictures from the Memorial and my top shelf in my curio cabinet dedicated to Brooksie to include the bottle cap I saved from his Memorial.
