You know that you're old school if you can....

boots, how about Robert Merrill dressed in a Yankees uniform and singing The National Anthem on Oldtimers Day?

 

Hell with Robert Merrill, fellow old guys. How about remembering the greatest fungo hitter I've ever seen - Frank Crosetti. Remember infield practice?

 

For you Detroiters ...

- Sir Graves Ghastly
- The 4:30 movie on Channel 7
- The News Christ Bill Bonds on Channel 7 sharing insults with Mayor Coleman Young
- Cloverdale ice cream
- $1.25 movies at the Penn Theater
- Kresge's
- George Kell calling Tiger games
- Football games at Tiger stadium
- The little farming town of Canton Township (now suburban hell)
- Mike Downey writing for the Free Press (still like him better than the elf)
- WLLZ tv adds with the hottest blond of all time .
- JP McCarthy and David Newman on WJR

 

And if I'm not mistaken, that might have been the only day he didn't lip sing.

 

Hell with Robert Merrill. What about Carol Merrill?

 

She's no good without Monty Hall.
Remember Jim Lange.... Love Luck and Lollipops!

 

Nor a vastly overrated baseball team.

 

Remember when there was NO SUCH THING AS A walk-off homerun.
Remember when the game-winning RBI was an actual stat.
Remember when there was no three-point line in the NBA or college.
Remember when referees actually called traveling.
Remember when Ronald McDonald actually had an Afro.
Remember when Michael Jordan had hair.

 

Remember when Dale Murphy was a catcher.

 

Remember when host wasn't a verb and when basketball players could make a mid-range jumper consistently.
