Great link! Alot of what the captions said cracked me up.

Like Simmons said, too bad YouTube was not around for that 1983 Billy Martin roast!

Funny stuff! It was hysterical. Great sense of humor! We tend to take this too seriously anyway and it was nice for an outsider's perspective. Laugh a little.. it is only baseball cards!

.....Who is the individual on the cutting edge of fashion, wearing the "jorts," in
the "Hawaiian Shirt" picture?

Thanks for the fun read. I really liked the Ryan/Ventura "Don't mess with Texas"

Also, learned something new.......I didn't know those were called "jorts"

Someday I hope I can make it to one of these Nationals. Thanks again for the link.

Sincerely, Clayton

If I remember correctly, they weren't "jorts"...they were "daidujorts" or "daisy duke shorts". Hawaiian shirts are bad enough, daidujorts....no comment

The term "jorts," as being modeled by that very fashionable fellow in the Hawaiian Shirt pic, is current slang/shortened version of "Jean Shorts." They are generally referred to as such, when worn by a guy.

When worn by a woman with good legs, they are indeed often called "Daisy Dukes."

"Daisy Dukes" are a subset of jean shorts. They have to be very short to be "Daisy Dukes". Take that pair of "jorts" from the article and put them on a woman with long legs, they don't suddenly become "Daisy Dukes".

Now you guys are getting too technical...

I just meant that they were pretty damn short & tight (my eyes still hurt) for a guy to be wearing.

Let's just say that those jorts on a man are the equivalent of daisy dukes on a woman.
