December Pick Ups

[ooo-ribay]

OK, my education continues...I had posted this in the autograph pick up thread. D'oh!

It measures 9 x 3.5'. Made by Paramount Flag Co. of SF. It will not lay completely flat, so I'm thinking it was not bunting hung from a rail but rather a bunting that "wrapped around" a podium or something like that...

Rob that is an awesome piece! I'm always searching for similar items in black and gold

Just picked this up from a seller on eBay. Managers' fan with my great grandpa Billy Sullivan Sr., among others. Been looking for one for a while, but lost out in the last couple of auctions.

Very nice! Do you have any personal game items from your great grandpa?

Was wondering the same! Any Banana Bats left over?

[pbspelly]

Afraid not. Most of his stuff was actually stolen (a lot of stuff was stolen from my grandfather Billy Jr, years ago) or given away (the banana bat). The only thing I have that's been passed down is a small (child-size) catcher's chest protector that he had. I'm not sure if he had it made as a prototype for his chest-protector invention (he patented a model chest protector) or if he had it made for one of his sons as a joke.

would love to see a picture of the chest protector
