a look back at the future (in pictures!)

ugh.

WHY DID YOU GET SO FAT?!

here's one of the other guys that night.

on some summer night in 1999 The Mariners, a team that a decade later would go on to have a "Cheezburger Night" complete with a lolcat bobblehead decided they should make everyone dress up like it was 2027, somehow it was considered a success and many teams would go on to do it. since I dont care about your team I didnt bother to find their futuristic jersey but here is a website with a good selection of them!

  1. I am ashamed for posting a lie. it was 1998 and the other teams picked it up in 1999.

  2. So were the future Mariners owned by Valiant Comics?

  3. Also apparently in the future baseball players have no time for such antiquated things as sleeves. I assume this has something to do with their need to fight killer cyborgs and roving biker gangs for precious gasoline between games in a doubleheader.
