What the heck is it...?

by only looking
In "transitions"..Magnum is going through all his stuff and he puts this greenish football thing in the trash then pauses and takes it back out. Now I know YEARS ago I remember seeing this thing in a store, but can't remember what it was. Any of you guys. I believe it goes in the prop/novelty department.

Hey only looking. Do you have a screenshot available?

Only,

It's a coconut painted green with stripes around it. I watched the epi this morning just to see the item.

Also, while TM is emptying the box, he pulls out what looks like a Wilson (Al Kaline?) baseball glove. It is not the Rawlings glove used in Squeeze Play and Jorroro Farewell. It looks like a little league size glove.

It looks like we have at least two baseball gloves now. I wouldn't mind one like TM has but I'm a lefty.

Thanks RC for the screen shots. I am a baseball nut since my youth in the 60s. That baseball glove predates me. I guess that is an early to mid 50s glove. Maybe even a late 40s glove.

The coconut must have had some significance since he kept it. I do not remember it from any episode. Does anyone else remember it?

I don't remember the coconut either. Maybe the baseball glove was his father's glove?

LOL! Conch!

The glove is probably from when he was a kid. It looks kid-sized.

Conch rather beat me to it (NO PUN INTENDED), but I was going to comment on the "short shorts" still being in place (and such a nice place, SL would say . . . .) even at the end of the series.

I still like 'em -- on the right . . . body.

My wife says the short shorts from the 80s should come back into style...

Was there a crotch shot? I didn;t notice. I was looking at the baseball glove and the green coconut...

:wink:

Let's jope the 80's short shorts stay in the decade. I would not be comfortable at all wearing those!
