In Honor of Old Stuff Day Let Us Reminisce About the Coolest Old Sports Stuff From Our Youth

Happy March 2nd everyone!! Today is Old Stuff Day, which happens to be the 2nd best day in March, right behind Poultry Day....Mmmm Chicken.  In honor of this momentous occasion Last Angry Fan has provided you with a countdown of the ten greatest “old-stuff” in sports from our youth.

10. Tom Emanski Instruction Videos- No one has ever watched one of these videos, but we all saw the commercials enough times to hit like Fred McGriff himself.

9. Big League Chew- Whoever either didn’t play some form of youth baseball or eat Big League Chew can immediately stop reading this article.

8. Nerf Footballs- Nerf has to be one of the greatest inventions of all time.  It allowed non-athletic kids to feel like they were a budding football superstar, especially when the Vortex was created. This engineering feat allowed even the most athletically challenged kids to throw a Brett Favre 80 mph fastball at their friends.





7. NBA Jam- This timeless video game from Midway in 1993 can still be played on your Super Nintendo Console.  The 2-on-2 gameplay, and the exaggerated nature of the game, allowed for every child to be “ON FIRE” from 3-point range.

6. Reebok Pumps- I’m still convinced pumping the basketball made my vertical a little more respectable.

5. Sock’Em Boppers- The 100% guaranteed safe way to beat the hell out of unsuspecting friends and family.

4. Space Jam- Michael Jordan, Looney Tunes, and Charles Barkley saving the world from aliens...What’s not to love?

3. ESPN SportsCenter highlights- Kids, back in the day SportsCenter actually showed highlights of the days events in sports.  Believe it or not they actually got through an entire show one time without mentioning the Lakers or New York Jets.


2. American Gladiators- Enough said.

1. Laser Tag- I completely understand the International Olympic Committee’s reasoning when they decided to drop wrestling.  “We can eliminate dudes rolling around on a sweaty mat, and replace it with laser-tag? Why haven’t we heard this proposal before?”  As much fun as laser tag was, it always seemed to end when you got shot in the back by the one kid who was afraid to run around, while protesting that your gun wasn’t working.
