It really amazes me every day the amount that technology has advanced sports. Whether it is baseball bats that are light as a feather and made of machine aluminum, or graphite shafts for golf clubs and everything in between, we have made incredible advances to take sports to a whole new level. It really makes me laugh when I am in my grandparent’s basement and see old wooden tennis rackets and other really old sports equipment that my dad and his siblings used while growing up. Even my dad’s old golf clubs seems prehistoric. They are very heavy and have no flex in the shaft whatsoever. I think it would be a funny concept to have a sporting event, where everyone had to use to old equipment and technology. They could even go as far as to have the athletes wear the type of clothes they would have worn when that equipment was used. Sports teams routinely wear retro jerseys, why not play entire events with old school equipment. The funny thing is, professional baseball equipment seems to be perfect as is, and has not really advanced much over the years. Gloves, helmets and padding may have improved, but everything else seems frozen in time.
