A growing number of baseball enthusiasts are joining "throwback" baseball leagues. Players wear the classic white long-sleeved shirt and short-brimmed hats popular in the game's early years. Another big difference? No gloves. "Only sissies wear a mitt..." *THIS is baseball I could get into. No corporate endorsements, no steroids, no million-dollar salaries. Just guys out ... read full post picked by RowanGrey 2 years ago

These old ads are kind of hilarious (in a weird way) and tremendously sad. I thought I understood mid-century sexism until I started looking through these ads. Apparently I was just aware of it, I don't think I'll ever understand it. Related plime. picked by easilydistracted 6 months ago
