Baseball remains America’s favorite pastime. Few things rival the beauty of a white leather ball with red stitches as it sits on the fresh green turf, waiting to be picked up and thrown, caught by a well broken in mitt.
Some may say it’s boring, but they don’t realize the game’s intricacies. The players, and good fans, know all about what could happen when a runner’s on base or when there’s an infield fly. Some people just want action, and in that case, they should turn to basketball.
But part of the game’s beauty is that it is played outdoors, and not only that, but it requires nice weather. When the sun is shining bright and the dirt of the infield is moist and brown and the bases are white and clean, and the wind whips the stadium flags high above, then you know that it’s time to play ball.
Those stadium flags are really something. Do you know who designs them? Chances are it’s Five Boro Banner & Sign. They also have vinyl banner printing and outdoor banners for all occasions. Playing baseball without some team spirit wouldn’t be the same. That’s why flag banners are as American as the game itself.
