Morganna the Kissing Bandit.
Back in the day rushed the field many times with her very big bouncy boobs kissing the stars of the game. Nolan Ryan,Pete Rose, George Brett & Cal Ripken were among a few who got some good sugar from her.

I miss Super Station WTBS which carried Braves games & Super Station WGN which carried Cubs games & occasional White Sox game. Always a treat watching a lit Harry Carey sing Take me out to the ballgame to the Cub faithful.

I liked to wear my socks like Nolan Ryan -



White sanitaries with stirrups that I cut at the bottom and sewed on a piece of elastic, with my pants around my knees.

I used that exact batting glove.


If that doesn't date me, I used a 34/29 Easton bat that looked a lot like this but with a black rubber handle....

Dock Ellis threw a no hitter tripping balls on the mound after accidentally taking a tab of acid on game day. GOAT sports story.

Great thread sms. I had the Yeager throat protector back in the day. Very cool look I thought.
Thanks for these memories.
