Fantastic post! Oh my. The good old days. In 1971, when I was 15, I saved money from my after school/Saturday job to buy a pair of powder blue corduroy shorts - I hated the term hot pants even then - with pink patch pockets. I also spent my money on a subscription to Ms. magazine, still quite young in 1971. I hated being whistled at but I wanted to wear what I chose. Never heard of these contests because we didn’t live in the continental U.S.

I can't get enough of this outside-the-lines history of our once and future national pastime. Keep up the great work, Paul.
