If that's style, then I'm glad I have none.

 

Sadly - I wore a suit for my first communion suit that was not much better - actually it might have been worse -  because it was checked and in leisure suit style (it was the 70's).  I am pretty sure it was pure polyester.

My money's on it that the kid in the photo is one of Colonel Sander's great great grandchildren.

  Best damn athlete on the field.

He has yet to learn to hit the ball the other way. Would have had himself a rib in that case. I am disappoint.

Yeah, you can't say things like this without an accompanying photo. We want proof!

In a lot of ways, I'm glad there was no digital world back then.  My confirmation day maroon slacks and white shoes/belt combo would be there for all to see, instead of just seared into my memory like a red-hot branding iron with the bad-guy cattle-baron's logo on it.  And the shirt-  we won't talk about the shirt.

When I was around 8th grade, so about the same time period, I had this absolutely marvelous red shirt with a white necktie combination that I wore as many places as I could. I'm not sure I carried off the look as well as this fellow, but surely it was close:

To follow up on Pelf's hot hitting- my old Mel Stottlemyre baseball card says he went 5-5 one time.  I had to look it up- September 26, 1964, against the Senators.  Go Pelf--  go get him!

Addendum- He also tossed a 2-hitter that day.  Good day at the office.

The Pirates TV announcers just said that "legend" has it that the MLB logo was modeled after Harmon Killebrew. I'd never heard that. Anyone?

I heard that, long ago.  I also heard Pete Rose.

Yeah, that speculation has been around for a while.  Denied by MLB, if memory serves, FWIW.

 

It does sorta look like his stance, though.
