I don’t know about any of you, but when I reminisce about the 80′s, it isn’t with any sort of fondness.  Granted, I was an awkward, socially inept pre-teen, but that’s besides the point.  The point is, the 80′s was a decade of bad hair, bad clothes and bad music.  I drink heavily to forget the 1980′s.

And just when I think I’ve completely obliterated the part of my brain that houses all things 80′s, along comes something like this.  The only thing you can say about this video is “why would they embarrass themselves like this.”

Let me break it down for ya.  The 1986 Dodgers, for reasons unknown to anyone, thought it would be a good idea to do a music video, much like the Bears did with their “Super Bowl Shuffle” video.  That was bad enough–this one is horrifically worse.

The Baseball Boogie Bunch (I did not make that up), made up of guys like Jerry Reuss, Orel Hershiser, Mariano Duncan, Pedro Guerrero, Ken Howell and Rick Honeycutt, perform their smash hit, “The Baseball Boogie.”

It’s pretty much what you’d expect from a bunch of jocks–only worse.  Much, much worse.

I’m not even sure what bothered me the most about this mess.  The shiny jackets?  Guerrero and Duncan’s jheri curl?  The choreography?  The fact that the “Official Ball Girls” look extremely slutty, not to mention underage?  Or that Guerrero seems to be involved in some sort of human trafficking ring, because at one point it seems he’s “purchasing” the ball girls, for what I’m afraid to ask.

And where the fuck was Tommy Lasorda through all this?  Surely to god he didn’t green light this abomination.  Maybe he was just too involved in his massive porn collection to notice.

Now that I’ve seen this crime against nature, and have that shitass song stuck in my head, I’m off to therapy.  Paging Dr.Daniels, Dr.Jack Daniels.
