As we nosedive weightlessly into offseason like Stephen Hawking, with glee in our hearts and liquid in our trousers, we salute the boys of summer with some sweet new swag!!!
IF U R OLDER THAN CALBERT CHEANEY U WILL LOVE OUR NOSTALGIC NEW MOTHERING HUT CREATION:
When you were a kid, there were a few things that always let you know it was Saturday morning:
-Sleeping in! -The Baseball Bunch on TV! -Picking up mommy's empty beer cans!
The Baseball Bunch was a zany pioneer in sports EDU-tainment. It starred Johnny Bench, the San Diego Chicken (an uncredited Jeremy Irons), and Tommy Lasorda as "The Dugout Wizard." Each week they would be joined by Major Leaguers and would teach a group of multicultual kids the DOs and DON'Ts of baseball and life:
DO field grounders with both hands DON'T sleep with a teammates wife
DO hustle on the base path DON'T lie about your age
DO follow through DON'T follow Tommy Lasorda to the bar!
It was a gentler, sweeter, more retro time, before Amber Alerts, when kids played in jeans, and mascots had production deals.
Recapture that youth with our old school Baseball Bunch logo shirts. Available in a number of styles and colors: including Orioles black and orange and tees for the KIDS and the LADIES!
