Mark-

Your room is looking fantastic....even if it is a bit D**ger heavy!

Do any of you guys own this pennant? I've seen two in my lifetime; each owned by a friend of mine. One is bright red; the other a very faded green. I would have thought a few more from an "event" would have survived. Maybe if Seals Stadium had held more customers...

Rob-

I don't have that one, but certainly admired it the one time I'd seen it before this. What a beauty.

The room's progress has been put on hold, but do note... Every Dodgers pennant you see is Brooklyn. You will not see an LA pennant on the wall. I (begrudgingly) acknowledge the Brooklyn Dodgers as an iconic franchise, but that's where it ends. The 1970s Reds despised the Dodgers almost as much as the Giants did... Maybe even more at the time. The rivalry was intense back when the Reds were actually viable, and both teams were in the NL West.

That was the Giants' "down time" era, but you've certainly had the last laugh in recent years. I may not live to see another winning season in Cincy

Also... There will be some killer Giants pennants on display if/when I can ever get this project put to bed. Stay tuned!

I lived in Ohio in the 1970s. I remember watching the Carlton Fisk WS foul pole homer as I sat in a bar at Ohio University. I was one of the few rooting for the Sox. The first six years of the 1980s were also a "down time" for the Giants!

Here's a Giants pennant I had never seen. 1.75 x 3." What set did this come from?

I think these pennants are uncataloged, circa 1950. There are five different leagues represented.

I believe the Milwaukee Brewers would date these pre 1952
