The softball players of yesteryear remember the aluminum bats that had little technology behind exit speeds. The 90s was a time when wearing shorts was a norm for tournaments and games. Perhaps we weren't the most smartest, but its time to take that trip down memory lane.




1. Aluminum bats: Ping...Ping...Ping! The Lisa Fernandez bat was so hot.

2. Scrunchies: The ouchless fabric hair tie made in every teams' color. The scrunchie statement says, "I'm no stranger to flames in my fabric."

3. Foam Visors: The foam visor, a softball player's canvas for puffy paint or paint pens. I'm more familiar with the button back. The foam visor may be making a comeback. You could clean your foam visor with any household cleaning product, but actually that's gross.

4. Long Knee Pads, medieval armor for the 90s softball player
.

5. The Sliding Wrap because no one needs a strawberry/raspberry today.





6. Fake Stirrup Socks: Made to replicate a pro ball player look but fell short right above the ankle bone.

7. Bike Shorts: Two buttons and a zipper with a polyester feel. Any moment you could bust.





8. Cotton Sleeveless Jerseys with numbers that eventually fell off because you ran them through the dryer on high.




9. Pins: The old days of pin trading. "I'll trade you a blinky for a dangly."




10. Squeeze Breeze: Why stop at an ordinary spray bottle when you can add a foam fan to the party. The squeeze breeze was the closet spa treatment we were going to get at the ball field.




11. Airbushed Helmets: Back when we had nicknames like Mad Dog, Tornado, or Skittles, we had tacky airbrushed helmets that represented fierceness.


12. Ken Griffrey Jr. Cleats and Batting Gloves were tight.




13. When you had a shorts rule with a two roll max.


14. Dad Coaches who wore Jeans on the Field: Yes, dads we remember when you used to wear jeans to the field. How did you do it?
