Saw this, and was not pleased, because that was something they could’ve held off with and done in front of the fans. The raising of the banners is something to be done in front of fans, and they could’ve held off. All those years of looking up at the empty banner, and wanting to be there if possible when they did it.
Zuckerman: “Before tomorrow night’s game, the Nationals will raise both a 2019 World Series champions flag in the center field plaza and a 2019 pennant atop the scoreboard to join the Senators' 1924, 1925 and 1933 pennants.”
Some have speculated that MLB, as the piece of metal vendors, might’ve pushed that, but this is a place to push back. Put on some little temporary thing with the logo, but leave the pennant raising to when people are actually there. Even the Astros got to raise their tainted finery in front of fans, and are certainly not being told by the commissar to take them down despite the evident Black Sox-level activity connected with it
