#so I went ‘oh yeah like Joe DiMaggio and Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle’

[phantasieandmirare]

Growing up on old TV shows wherein they talk about sports is like I don’t know who the current quarterback of any NFL team is but I can list of a bunch of star players of various sports primarily from New York from 1951-1957 that no one but your grandparents have ever heard of

#thinking about various times in elementary school when people started talking sports and I wanted to be included in the conversation #so I went ‘oh yeah like Joe DiMaggio and Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle’ #and they all went ‘who?’ #quick follow up ‘have you ever heard of jimmy demaret?’ #same situation with actors ‘oh yeah bill Holden John Wayne rock Hudson van Johnson cornel wilde Richard widmark’ #no one knew what I was talking about #if you know what show I’m specifically referencing in this post we should be friends #about me
