Thanks, Clint. So many pennants out there. Fortunate to have a few.

Day 275 – 2 October 2024
1971 provides a few more Oriole Pennants. Starting at the bottom is scroll pennant with 1971 in white but mentions Our Champs 1972. I really like this pennant. Above the black pennant is three scroll pennants celebrating the Orioles as the 1971 AL Champions. Next, is the typical photo pennant referencing the 1971 WS. The top Pennant references the Orioles as the 1971 World Champions. How many hearts were broken in 1971 by Roberto Clemente.

I was driving through Delaware and I stopped for gas when a guy strikes up a conversation with me because I was wearing an Orioles shirt. We started talking about the Orioles and I told him Brooks was my favorite player. He reaches in his pocket and pulls out a Brooks/Eddie bat pen from All Star Dodge and Chevy. I told him I collect Brooks memorabilia and he proceed to give me the pen. He said he found it at a flea market last week.What a nice surprise!
Didn’t think I would wake this morning, and be handed a piece of Brooks memorabilia at 7:30 in the morning at a Wawa gas station in Delaware while passing through.
