Lacrosse: The Creator’s Game

Without a doubt the oldest sport in North America, the roots of Lacrosse go back to at least the 17th century—and probably way beyond that. Originally a tribal game that would last from sun up to sun down, it was referred to as the “little brother of war.” This sleepy documentary explores the Native American origins of Lacrosse.

A Retro Modern Racquet

Appealing to design nostalgists, Wilson has reissued its 1984 classic Pro Staff 6.0 85 tennis racquet. A solid black racquet with yellow and red racing stripes, it was used back in the day by pros like Pete Sampras and Chris Evert. In the modern age, the Pro Staff 85 is too small for competitive play, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun with it on the court and challenge yourself. Regardless of what you do, it’s a great rare piece for the ages.

Included in the compilation of SNOOPY comic strips was a series of color panels featuring SNOOPY AT WIMBLEDON. No stranger to the game, SNOOPY’s trip also came to life in animation during the 1980 film, Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown.
