New Sun Glasses for Outfielders (Jul, 1932)
New Sun Glasses for Outfielders
HERE is what the up and coming outfielders are going to wear this season. These trick sun glasses fasten on the visor of the cap so that the player can follow the ball’s flight even when looking into the sun. There’ll be no pop flies falling safe in the sun “gardens” when these glasses are used. They are fastened on with small screws.
“They are fastened on with small screws.”
That must hurt.

Rick, my thoughts exactly when I read it… to the player or the hat? I guess only outfielders can use them.

Gee, I dunno something about reading “fasten on the visor of the cap” just sucked all the humor out of it for me when I read it.
So, you guys didn’t pay attention to what you read, ridiculed it, and you think that’s hilarious? Are you two gag writers for Sarah Palin?

What does that mean: “they’ll be no pop flies falling safe in the ‘sun gardens’…?
Sun gardens?
