Red Sox Opening Day 2008 Lowering of the Championship Banner

[1more4carhur]

it's kinda like the AWESOMENESS of the 2004 World Series was just too awesome to be forgotten when they lowered the banner for the 2007 one.

I know baketball get championship banners that are hung in the arena rafters, but what does base ball do? Do the put like a insignia on the walls?

[Wallenstein]

They have a bunch of triangular flags displayed on top of the back-most part of the park (behind home plate) with championship win years.. for example, "American League Champions" and "World Series Champions". This is what they do at Fenway Park.. each baseball stadium has its own way of memorializing their history :)

[MikeT54]

I see.

[redsoxfan1984]

@MikeT54 Some do. Most do what Wallenstein said.

[MikeT54]

@redsoxfan1984 Like I know you hate the yankees, but do many teams do what they do? just have a wall and put the championship years? Like Im an Indians fan and we have the triangle things going around. They are different color for whatever championship we won. If we only won division its green, League is blue, and WS is gold

[redsoxfan1984]

@MikeT54 The Braves have all their division championships, league championships and WS championships on a wall in right field, I know. I'm fairly certain the Angels do, too.

I can't remember any others.

Why didn't they put some kid of bar or weights in the bottom of the banner to hold it down?
