For the most part, this describes the USA of the 40’s and 50’s.To those of us who were around then, they were truly golden years...when men wore jackets, ties and hats to Yankee Stadium.
As a Red Sox fan, I cannot comprehend this desire to go to Yankee Stadium.
And...really...would you want to wear a suit coat in the right field bleachers of Fenway park? Things were nicer back then, I will grant you that. But some changes...like wearing shorts and a tee shirt to a ball game are changes for the better. But, I still wish they wear caps with the bill facing forward.
Why would anyone want to wear all that stuff to a baseball game in July?
They might have worn them to Yankee Stadium in the forties and early fifties, but I doubt they were wearing them by the late fifties...judging by photos I’ve seen from that time period. I went to major league games in Milwaukee and the Twin Cities in the early sixties, and few if no men wore hats other than baseball hats or straw hats. I didn’t see anybody in a suit and tie sitting in the stands. My dad wore a fedora/suit and tie to work, but he sure didn’t wear one anywhere else.
Actually that's a piece this old phart is glad to see gone.
The invetor of the necktie should have been hauled out and hanged by it on the spot, and jackets are for cold weather.
IMHO; YMMV.
I definitely don’t think going back to the 40’s or 50’s is a good idea. Too many secrets in families. That is when the majority of woman were beat up and children abused. It can be like today but some changes.
