Hello!

Welcome Rob!

I have the reverse story... born in SF, but moved to Cincy at a young age, and spent the "formative years" at Crosley Field.

Although I saw Hank Aaron get his 3,000th hit, my most vivid memory is Rose drawing a walk and sprinting to first like a scared rabbit. Also Lee May, Bench and Perez blasting homers over the giant scoreboard in left field.

We moved away on the day of the 1970 All Star Game at Riverfront (Rose barelling over Fosse). I've remained a Reds fan ever since... although temporarily lost interest in '77 when they dismanted the Big Red Machine, trading away Perez... Dummies

Anyway, I can see you've already got everything a reasonable person could offer up as potential trade! I've got some killer SF Giants Pennants, but can see you've already got those bases covered, too.

Not sure if you care about New York Giants stuff, but there are a few pennants sprinkled in here that you might enjoy seeing...

Amazing collection, and welcome aboard!

no....YOU have the amazing collection! I remember you....you either used to sell to me or beat me on ebay (maybe both). Your NY pennants are some of the best but probably too "high end" for my blood. If you think maybe we could do some trading, shoot me a PM. I would love to see all your Giants pennants.

Haha... probably did a little of both

Hey Rob...

How about a tight close-up shot of how you have the pennants displayed on that vertical rack? Is that something you devised?

Looks like a nice solution for those of us who've completely run out of wall space!

Yes, I did devise that. My old "Giants Room" had a vaulted ceiling and I was able pin pin a BUNCH to the ceiling in a "fan" pattern.

This "solution" was made with some shelf brackets, stainless steel cable and crimp ends. Every sleeve has two pennants. In the second pic, you can see spring clips. I had to thread those on before crimping the ends. Then, when I was all done I realized they took up too much space and had to use wire cutters to cut every single one (except what's left) off

. The spring clips probably held better and allowed for a better "swing out pivot" but oh well...

Great solution... thanks!

It looks like you'd need about 6 more houses worth of wall space, to hang all of those. As it is, I see some great ones in there, which apparently didn't make the cut (for available wall space, that is...)

Thanks for the close-up photos and explanantion... really helpful
