I remember getting our first TV...Black and white (there was no color then...)
Watched the 1956 World Series (Yankees/Dodgers)...That’s why my dad bought the set....
Anybody ever make a “spoke gun”???
Take a bicycle spoke, bend it so you had a handle the “barrel” was the female end that screwed to the rim...
Break off about three strike anywhere match tips in the hollow “barrel”...Poke a BB in and hold a match under the barrel...
It would shoot a red hot BB about 25 to 30 yards...
