1940s Los Angeles Dodgers Tie!!!!!!!!! Amazin'!

[dhermann1]

I really think we need a specific thread for ridiculous REbay descriptions. Here's a doozy. As most Loungers (I hope!) know, the Dodgers left Brooklyn in 1958 and went to Los Angeles. How somebody found a Los Angeles Dodgers tie from the 1940s is one of those miracles only Ebay can create.

Could just be a typo...

This is no typo, but a lost Twilight Zone episode. :eeek:

Mind readers, eh? One line has ”40's”. It doesn't that I see have a long, detailed description of why it's labeled 40's. often times I message a seller and tell of a mistake in their sale. Many will fix it as they didn't know. Have you guys done that? Or is it just more fun to bash him here? Honest mistakes happen and given this one is so obvious, it makes it more believable.

To his credit, I messaged him about this, and he said he changed the description.

Regardless of the description, that batter has an awfully big strike zone. Must be based on Frank Howard.

And that's the right way to do it! Thank you. Had he/she replied "NO" or ignored it, then there's a point of contention...

As long as it's not "steampunk" as well.

Amen ! Or, of course, "rockabilly."

I have yet to see it, but I anticipate the appearance of the term "steambilly." shakeshead

The Mets were amazin', I don't know what the Dodgers were or are other than famous for having fans try to beat visiting opposing team fans to death in the parking lot.
