Off topic… 1920’s theme party - baseball costume ideas?

[JollyElm]

Has anyone else lost a bit of their faith in humanity by realizing that whereas a party used to be all about hitting the keg hard, cranking out the stadium rock, raiding your buddy's fridge for all it was worth and hitting on any girl who was there...to now being about a man dressing up in an old baseball player costume and reciting a poem to the 'guests'????????

Whoa, how the mighty have fallen.

Amen.. I would find that party lame-o

I really like that! And yes, that truly is how it was! Nowadays, you hit on the girl and you'll be arrested, or worse!

Thanks for the great ideas… I appreciate the creativity!

And for the hardo posters who are just too cool for a theme party, I’m glad you had a chance to flex your awesomeness here. ��

Babe Ruth was baseball in the ‘20s. He is also the most recognizable American figure from the period. If you’re dressed as the Bambino, guests are more likely to “get it” than if you’re anyone else. If they don’t know Babe Ruth, they’re not really in character.

Bite the bullet. Channel your inner Babe Ruth and have fun with it.
