1875 Base Ball Program...Cleveland OH
Here is a program from a day of outdoor sports that took place in 1875 on Euclid Ave. in Cleveland Ohio. My image cuts off cuz I wanted to feature the great graphics, but just below the city and state are indicated as Cleveland Ohio....wonder if Brooks School or Euclid Ave. is still there?

I believe that the Reds and Tigers were the only teams to put out these Silk Banners for their championship teams (someone please correct me if that's wrong).
They are scarce, and a bidding war ensues each time one comes to auction. A 1940 Reds one (with major condition issues) recently hit ebay. Just too tattered for my liking, but I do have these three toughies. The 1961 Reds/Yankees Banner always commands a premium, as it is coveted by Yankee fans as well...

Couldn't let this thread go by without posting this one...
1919 Reds Pennant from the year they "defeated" the Black Sox in the infamous 1919 World Series. A rare and historically significant pennant. Also a late 1930s pennant with an incredibly detailed depiction of Crosley Field...

Great stuff Mark. Those silk banners must be extremely scarce as I dont think I have seen any of the three you posted. I've seen the Tigers version several times but no Reds.
Here's a piece to go along with the 1919 Reds pennant you posted. Hopefully I will get around to getting it framed soon.

Shortly after moving to Ohio, a newspaper classified ad led me to an old bar in a small town north of Columbus. The walls were covered with original baseball photos and panoramas but years of exposure had damaged most beyond repair. Alas, I sold this 1919 Reds panorama within minutes of opening my table at the Atlanta National in 1992.

Thanks Jimmy and Brock... This "Ohio Baseball" thread still hasn't received it's proper dues (I had to go all the way to page 4 just to revive it!) So I'll scrounge up more stuff hopefully before too long...
Brock - that piece is amazing, and is begging to be framed. So many options on that one... please be sure to "show and tell", after you've had a chance to frame it.
