Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys, and Erector Sets. And We Look Back at 1973.

On this episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, we remember Lincoln Logs, Tinkertoys, and Erector Sets. These simple toys were lots of fun and taught kids how to build and create all sorts of different things. The cognizant skills that were developed by these toys was valuable, all from a simpler time with no batteries, or electronics such as are found today. We also look back at the 40th anniversary of the 1973 baseball season. A season played in the midst of Watergate, Vietnam, and other events that were a sign of the times. It was also the end of an era as Willy Mays played his last season with the Mets. We look back at the pop culture of that era as well as the sport of baseball and what it meant to the nation. Our Retro-Commercial is for Pillsbury Space Food Sticks from 1969. Let's play ball before summer ends, here on Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site!
