Posted this over in the pennants thread, and it was suggested I also post it over here.
I have been searching for a vintage Dodgers flag (burgee) and finally found one. It is rather large (over 8� x 5�), and was supposedly flown during the 1967 season at some point. I have been unable to locate 1967 opening day photos or any other ones showing the centerfield flags (or the Dodgers posing with the burgee as they sometimes did before the WS) and was hoping maybe someone on the forum might have one.

I did confirm that the tagging is correct for the period as the manufacturer added an eagle to their logo in the late 1960�s. It certainly wasn�t the best World Series for the Dodgers as they were swept by the Orioles, and Koufax subsequently retired at the end of the season, which may account for the lack of interest in hoisting it up.

For those of us old enough to remember, there was actually a time when winning the league pennant was a big deal. Now, if you don�t win the World Series the season is considered a bust.

Rick, Great looking flag. I too am old enough to remember winning the division and then the AL/NL pennant was a huge deal. Of course it was also nice back in the day to view my team the Orioles be in contention.

The crazy thing is, it�s now almost harder with the multiple rounds of playoffs�but that also makes it more random. As a result, the �best� teams often don�t win the flag. Back in the day, the best team won.

Believe you are correct. I�m probably too much old school, and really liked the way the game was played back in the day.

I have an exception to your �the best team won� for the �69 Mets (especially as an O�s fan. I hated the Miracle Mets!
