Day 282 – 9 October 2024
Today I am showing a couple 1979 Oriole Pennants. The bottom one mistakenly refers to the Orioles as the World Champions. I attended Game 6 at Memorial Stadium suffering through that miserable loss. The top Pennant I really like with the Pirates and Orioles celebrating the WS.

Day 283 – 10 October 2024
Today I am sharing a few more Oriole Pennants. These are from the 1983 WS Champion Orioles. At the bottom, the Pennant Celebrates the Orioles as the World Champions. The next one, in white Celebrates the 1983 Playoffs between the Orioles and the White Sox, listing both team players names. The middle pennant list the Orioles Players as the World Champs. The Orange Pennant celebrates the WS Champs showing our manager (Joe Altobelli)…always made me sad that Earl Weaver did not get credit for this Championship. The top Pennant is white and lists the players names celebrating the Orioles as the AL Champs and playing in the WS.

Day 284 – 11 October 2024
Almost done with the Pennants. Today I am showing a few random Pennants I have from the 1960s – 1980s. On the left are two I really like featuring the National Anthem “O” part we all participate in while attending a game with the Orioles. The other ones are from various Playoffs or the Stadium. I really like the “Why Not” 1989 pennant coming off the 1988 107 loss season.
