Flashback Friday

My wife bought me this awesome throwback baseball jersey!
 "Hawai'i Islanders" 1961 baseball road jersey, made of wool.  4xl brah!

I remember my Grandpa taking me to Islander baseball games at Aloha Stadium when I was small kid time, so this brings back fond memories.  They used to play the Portland Beavers, Edmonton Trappers & other teams.
Thanks so much for this precious gift babe!

Happy Aloha Friday to everyone!

Softball is a BULKY BOY sport too!

My daughter's hitting coach, Mark Anderton, was reppin' the Bulky Boy STRONGMAN shirt.
 
Mark is originally from New Zealand & has helped Kaiea tremendously.
He was a former member of the New Zealand National team, a New Zealand batting champion, and a member of Eddie Feigner's "King and his Court" 4-man softball team.
