So many beyond neat items in this thread so far! I have to admit my favorite is the huge Baseball Tonight banner. I have always wondered if these are double sided or not. Any history on the piece such as what town it come from?

Looks like you have a bunch of other great pieces right below that are teasing to get in the shot!

Thanks Michael
This one isn’t double sided. Unfortunately didn’t get much backstory from the seller, somewhere in Massachusetts was the best they could figure. I’m always looking for RPPC’s that show a downtown with one of these banners spanning the street hoping to match it up.
And here’s an un cropped picture of the wall. Has some other larger items on it that can fit with this topic…

Fantastic stuff! Here's some banners.

Laraine Day (Mrs. Durocher) dugout backdrop for her radio show.

Bus banner from 2014 WS parade. It resides in the garage.

One of the not too many banners that flew over some of SF's tallest buildings when it looked like the Giants were leaving, following the 1992 season.

A couple of Wrigley Field flags.

Various stuff. The "Welcome" banner is from Spring Training in AZ.

No idea what the story is on this nine footer. It came from an advanced Giants collector in SF. It does have a spot on a wall.

Generic bunting manufactured by Paramount Flag in SF. This one resides in the garage.

My favorite. Batter and pitcher varieties were interspersed with the standard red, white and blue buntings at the first game ever in Candlestick Park. By my calculations there were only 12 pitchers and 12 batters out of a total of 48 buntings.

I’ve been looking for the Orioles Tour of Japan poster since I saw a photo of one quite a number of years ago. I believe there is one on eBay that’s located in Japan, but I guess I don’t love it enough to spend that type of money on it.

I have a few tickets from the tour as well as the magazines that were put out referencing the games. Been looking for programs as well, but have been unable to locate any from the tour (seen photos of a few).

If you want I can display it for you?!? JK; love the poster; great item!

Here’s a O’s banner that’s decent in size.

Posted this over in the pennants thread, and it was suggested I also post it over here.
I have been searching for a vintage Dodgers flag (burgee) and finally found one. It is rather large (over 8’ x 5’), and was supposedly flown during the 1967 season at some point. I have been unable to locate 1967 opening day photos or any other ones showing the centerfield flags (or the Dodgers posing with the burgee as they sometimes did before the WS) and was hoping maybe someone on the forum might have one.

I did confirm that the tagging is correct for the period as the manufacturer added an eagle to their logo in the late 1960’s. It certainly wasn’t the best World Series for the Dodgers as they were swept by the Orioles, and Koufax subsequently retired at the end of the season, which may account for the lack of interest in hoisting it up.

For those of us old enough to remember, there was actually a time when winning the league pennant was a big deal. Now, if you don’t win the World Series the season is considered a bust.

ALL just plain AWESOME! My favorites are the two flags and each of the buntings you’ve pictured. Love your collection!
