LOL!!! I was scrolling through the responses before posting EXACTLY what you did...I'm a ginormous "Blazing Saddles" fan. Being a woman, the only nuts I'm really interested in are the hot toasted ones (sprinkled with sugar/cinnamon) that you get on Nicollet Mall. Toonces51!!! LOL!!!

Don't get me wrong I wore them and, obviously, for good reason, but they make you run like you have a load in your pants since if you slide or slam into someone, they seem to shift enuf out of place to be a pain in the ass...or close by. And if all this shifting action happens in the infield close to the stands, it's a little embarrassing to dig around to straighten out the jewel case. As for this guy's hi-tech cup, it's not all about what kind of pitch it can block, but what happens when his cup runneth over. I always hated cups.

Just some normal sunglasses that are a mere shell of the incredible, effective eye protection he wore in the day. I love that the website for the "Nutty Buddy" is pretty much one big male-parts joke.

I can’t watch the video, is Sabo wearing his sweet goggles from back in the day?

Never wanted to either, but damn if he didn't have the sweetest buzz-cut, rec-specs combo ever.
