Phillies rocking these powder blue unis gives me 1983 NLCS vibes.....

And that's an awesome thing

This wouldn't happen today....

WWF was so hot in 1984 that the Albany, NY CBS affiliate decided to drop the NFL Today pregame show on Sundays to run WWF Championship Wrestling.....

Pretty wild

Oh I loved it.....right in our wheelhouse

Kris Zellner @kriszellner.bsky.social · 4d

This is as good of a show that we've done in a while and it's one of our favorite subjects too....

I can't get enough of Joe Pedicino & Global discussion plus you throw in all the cast of characters as well...

Great show

New on the @btsheetspod.bsky.social Patreon: We go back to 1992 for the infamous "fool or liar?" column that Bruce Mitchell wrote in the Torch Re: Joe Pedicino. Joe's friends respond in force, and then it gets very, VERY interesting.

Just $5.00/month or $50.40/year at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets!
