During the 1980’s….Pizza Hut sponsored a two different events….“The Pizza Hut Old Timers Classic” and the “Pizza Hut All Star Softball Game”….and both were more than interesting to watch….as the baseball game with the old timers was always a wonderful walk down memory lane….which features feats like the HR by 72 yr. old Luke Appling…..as 70 yr. old Bob Feller was still throwing “heaters” from the mound.
In this 1985 All Star Softball Game….the lineups were heavily laden with future Hall of Fame players….as for the American Leaguers there was OF Andre Dawson, OF Tony Gwynn, 2B Rynne Sandberg….and for the Nationals there were SS Cal Ripken, OF Jim Rice, OF Eddie Murray, 3B Wade Boggs and P Tom Seaver….which always makes any contest worth watching when there are 8 Hall of Famers in the starting lineup.
