Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr and it's time for the Monday Morning Podcast for Monday, February 24th, 2025. What's going on? How are ya? How's it going? How's your life? Look at the fucking Red Sox making moves, signing pictures. I don't know who they are, but people are excited. I actually ordered that spring training hat, the red one. It's the red hat with the blue bill.
And back in the day, the B was also blue to match the bill. Now they have it white. But, you know, I was talking to one of my buddies because when we first watched the Red Sox, that's what their uniforms look like. The 70s, baseball 70s movies. They match the cereal that you were eating in the morning. My whole childhood was like looking at a giant bowl of like Fruit Loops or Trix.
It was just nuclear orange and reds, yellows and greens. It was fucking incredible. It was just like, I just think enough people in the right positions in life had taken LSD. Or maybe it was their misinterpretation of what LSD was. And everything was like fucking psychedelic. Like the Houston Astros. I mean, good Lord.
That uniform, the orange hat, and then whatever the fuck was going on in the shirt was amazing. The Pirates with the all yellow. From the batting helmet all the way down to the black cleats. Everything in it was this fucking amazing yellow. The Cardinals had that great...
like that vivid blue with the red which doesn't even make sense you know i guess red white and blue on the flag but it was just sort of red and blue if i remember correctly And then Chicago had the most boring where the White Sox had horrible, like, they look like an expansion franchise. You know, the White Sox uniforms. I don't understand.
They're such a fucking weird team because then once the 70s went away with all the colorful shit and they got a little more conservative when Ronald Reagan went in there and he starts firing air traffic controllers because they had the audacity to go on strike and wanted to make fucking... you know, get paid their worth. He was like, fuck you. He just fired him.
I'll tell you right now, the one fucking job, one of the number one jobs you don't want to back up for other than a fucking brain surgeon would be an air traffic controller. I think Stewie could do it. Let's give him a shot. So anyway, it all became conservative again. And then the White Sox, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, they have uniforms like the Houston Astros used to have.
So anyway, so my whole life, I thought that the Red Sox had that red cap for most of the 70s, at least eight seasons. I thought, you know, because you always saw the 1975 World Series highlights with, you know, Carlton Fisk, you know, the Bucky Dent home run in 78. Yeah. So I always assumed that they wore them for like eight seasons.
But I went back and I looked at the team photos because someone was asking me about that. They only wore them in the 75, 76, 77 and 78 seasons. And then that was it. I thought for sure they went the rest of the 70s wear them. But the 79 team, they went back to the blue hats. And I remember, you know, I was just a kid, 10 years old or something when they came back in 79. almost 11, right?
