OP A headline on the Chicago White Sox homepage says, "White Sox attempt to make it a banner year." And I was gobsmacked that, as a lifelong and avid baseball fan, it has never occurred to me that that phrase, banner year, may have come from baseball...winning the pennant and thereby hoisting the banner at the stadium. So I went to Word Origins, but there's nothing there. Does anyone know if this is indeed the origin of the phrase, or another site where I can find the etymology?
