60 minutes video of 1981 Nationals

[Amy in AZ.]

We didn't have any gear. All we brought was our gloves.

And we never had a #2 pitcher. BUT, the season was June 1 - Sept. 1 and we played about 42 games. We never had a 2nd catcher, either.

That is awesome, Amy! I love the color coordination between the uniform and the bat!

Thanks for sharing!

The video also stated they were throwing 90 mph, how pitchers have regressed! lol

When you needed a new glove, did you have to kill sum'n and skin it yourself? ;-)

We purchased our gloves from the Sears catalogue. Shelbyville, Il. actually had a sporting goods store, where we bought our cleats.

can I get banned for saying a moderator is kinda foxy in a picture?

 

[Amy in AZ.]

Probably.

I was 25, then. There was no limit to your age, like there is now.
