My part of minor league baseball

Wednesday, the 2011 Appalachian League playoffs start. Bluefield, in its first year as a Blue Jay affiliate, has made the field.
Bluefield spent 53 years as a farm team of the Baltimore Orioles, but the last decade have seen no playoff appearances.
Back in 1990, the general manager decided to commemorate the past league pennants. One more pennant would make the display look better, so I suggested a last pennant with ? to note a future title.
The team won the league crown two years later, and moved the signage outside after adding a few more pennants.
The last pennant on the entrance still has the ?. May it move over one spot after this year's playoffs.
