My dad used to work for McDonnell Douglas and Boeing, so we got to see a nice amount of air shows and behind-the-scenes air parts, but I never got so far as learning names and numbers. We thought the AF1 looked really dated on the inside, too. But I guess RR would not have been the president to demand a new plane?&nbsp;</p> <p>Aida, that is awesome about the stirrups. DH and I pretty much automatically like any player who wears them, lol. I just think they look so much more practical and uniform-like than baggy ol' pant legs flapping around the ankles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-geek-out-over-old-time-baseball-uniforms#post-1311360 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 21:58:12 +0000 Gigi 1311360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this does look like fun! Thanks for sharing the pics. I don't often get out to museums, so this was fun for me to see. :)</p> <p>I had never seen some of the really old baseball uniforms, the ones with the monograms. Interesting! And President Reagan's riding boots are beyond fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-geek-out-over-old-time-baseball-uniforms#post-1311352 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 21:51:29 +0000 Suz 1311352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cool, Rae! And I am laughing so hard at Claire's plane geekery.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-geek-out-over-old-time-baseball-uniforms#post-1311329 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 21:37:47 +0000 Aida 1311329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah sooo fun! I'd love to see that exhibit, the old unis are really cool. I've always loved those old shawl baseball sweaters when looking at old photos/movies, wonderful "sporty" fashion. I feel like you could totally find a throwback jersey like in #13, that's gotta be out there somewhere! As an aside, the Ms have a handful of young players this year who are wearing proper old-school stirrups which I just adore :D</p> <p>Also, Mr. Reagan's riding boots (#15) are, like, the exact shade of cognac I've been looking for!</p> <p>(Claire, my hubby's grandfather who lives in AZ is also super into planes (he used to be a pilot). When we visited them several years ago we stopped by a couple flight museums, and he had a personal story to share about <i>each plane </i>and&nbsp;the original owner(s). It was far more interesting that just browsing the museums on our own! I have to say, there's something very cool looking about the double-mounted engines look of the 707.)</p> <p>PS: Love the outfit, Rae! Highfives for still rocking the baggy denim short shorts \m/</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-geek-out-over-old-time-baseball-uniforms#post-1310953 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 15:44:36 +0000 Anonymous 1310953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The plane, the plane! Is that two engines on one wing? What is that, a 707? I thought the Air Force One during the Reagan years was a lot newer than that.</p> <p>ETA: You geek out about baseball, I geek out about planes. &nbsp;I just looked on Wikipedia and this is indeed a 707 and it served the presidents starting with Kennedy (at the official entry into the jet airliner age) all the way to Clinton--at which point it was&nbsp;<i>extremely&nbsp;</i>outdated. I've never even flown on an airplane as old as a 707. Whenever I saw this AF1 on TV I must have assumed it was a 757, since it appears to be long and sleek, but a 757 only has one wing-mounted engine on each side. The 707 had two. &lt;&lt;geek out over&gt;&gt;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-geek-out-over-old-time-baseball-uniforms#post-1310946 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 15:34:28 +0000 JAileen 1310946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love flea markets!</p> <p>#7 bothers me a lot. The hanger seems to be wrecking the sweater. I never hang sweaters for that reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-geek-out-over-old-time-baseball-uniforms#post-1310942 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 15:31:28 +0000 LACeleste 1310942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such cool pics Rae! &nbsp;Now I want to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-geek-out-over-old-time-baseball-uniforms#post-1310887 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 14:42:06 +0000 rae 1310887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DH and I made it up to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on my day off, so we finally got to see their baseball exhibit! Big fun!</p> <p>My outfit shots are from the flea market we hit up on the way - I did not end up buying the booties, but this vendor had a nice selection.&nbsp;</p> <p>The baseball exhibit drew me in with all the fabulous uniforms they had on display. From the 1700s cricket uniform in #9 to the 1940s satin Dodger's jersey in #13 (I <i>want</i> me one of these!). I bought DH a cashmere shawl collar sweater a couple of years ago, and we have plans to do it up a bit like #7 for him, only he wants a Detroit Tigers' patch. *Waving at Aida!* #3 is a Ty Cobb ad, because I love Ty Cobb.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was surprised to be quite interested in the rest of the museum area as well, which focused on Ronald Reagan. They had a full-sized replica of the oval office as well as a full-sized, shoulders-up, rideable model of RR's horse. DH took a pic of me on the later, but he doesn't have time to send them to me yet. :(<br />14 - Straight jacket used on Cold War political prisoners (I think. Should have taken a pic of the plaque)<br />15 - RR's riding boots<br />16/17 - First Lady style!<br />18 - Air Force One</p> <p>I hope this wasn't too off-topic - sporty looks are in, right?? </p>
