I sent it out yesterday to the hall. They will be flying it during the 14th Induction Ceremonies and it should find a nice display case for all to see in the future.
Excellent. The only way I'll ever make it into the Soccer Hall of Fame, by having touched the flag. Does this count against my 15 minutes of fame? So Ed, did they call you?
Flannigan's kid has ballooned to 20x30 feet (all the Korean food), and will now be shot out of a cannon at the Hall of Fame for being the youngest Sammer ever at a World Cup game. Hence the thread title, 20x30ft Baby to fly at Soccer Hall of Fame.
Actually, little Erin has grown but not to that level! I cracked up when I read this. Ringo: Ed of the North Jersey Brigade has been instrumental in getting a big flag to USMNT games. The original flag was replaced by a bigger one, funded with contributions from fans. The original flag became known as the Baby Ass Flag because its younger brother, the Big Ass flag, is HUUUGE. The Baby Ass flag was dragged all over the world in the last 2 years. Metrotard and others got it in and out of Azteca Stadium, no easy task, where it was burned by irate Mexican fans. The Baby Ass flag went to Korea and was retired after that due to accumulated damage. Ed organized contributions for a replacement Baby flag that could be used at events where there were not enough diehard fans to unfurl the huge Big Ass flag. Ed decided to donate the original Baby Ass Flag to the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame. The Baby Ass flag has considerable sentimental value and it is appropriate that it should find a resting place at the Hall of Fame.
Hey Ed, are you going to take the tax deduction on the donation of the flag? If not can you include me on that doners list?
