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.

This broadside is roughly 3' x 2'.
There is a lot going on on it, and the focus at the time was certain the air show. But in the middle of the poster is a mention of a baseball game between a team from Jamestown and a team from Bismarck. The Bismarck team, today sometimes referred to as the Bismarck Churchills (the owner was Neil Churchill) was an integrated team featuring Negro League greats such as Satchel Paige, Hilton Brown, Quincy Trouppe and others. The print below the mention of the game might be too small to read in the photo, but it mentions that Satchel Paige will be facing Ray Starr. (There was a last-minute change and the Churchills ended up playing against the Twin City Colored Giants.) The Bismarck team won 21-6. Newspaper reports tell that Paige sat his fielders for the 9th, though the paper reports that this led to two runs scoring, including one homerun, so it wasn't as magical as might be imaged. Paige did have 4 hits in the game and struck out 11. HOF pitcher Hilton Smith played right field and had 2 hits as well. |

Definitely not prewar, but here is an 9' long Nolan Ryan Angels Stadium Banner that I like very much that was at The Big A from circa 1998.
Thank my lucky stars for having a basement with a high ceiling! ;):D Big is good! |

Haven't found much worth buying lately so my itchy trigger finger got the best of me and I impulsively bought this beast. About 5 feet long. Has some age to it...and it was cheap. Figured I'd at least add it to my "Why the F did I buy this pile".
But imagine my surprise and excitment when I was able to photo match the banner to the Juice's record breaking 1968 Heisman Trophy winning season! Yes...It's great to be a Trojan...But sometimes it's just better to be lucky. Attachment 674595 Attachment 674596 |

Vintage wood ticket sign from Pawtucket Red Sox

Agreed on Mark's awesome Reds ticket sign!
Being an advanced baseball ticket collector I couldn't resist adding this vintage hand painted wooden ticket sign that originally resided in the Pawtucket Red Sox stadium in MA. Dims: 18" x 24" I've owned it for over a decade. :cool: |
Indeed, that is a very advanced sign.

Stumbled onto this 100+ year old metal sign in its original wooden frame nearly 10 years ago which was hanging in a small tucked away antique store. As soon as I saw it, I knew that it was coming home with me!

Here’s a few spectator props from filming the “Natural”. These were used in the stands instead of hiring extras.
They’re 47” long and about 36” tall. |
