Baseball and Tastykake: All the Good Things Wrapped up in One

Tastykake, of course we didn't forget! How could we? In honor of your 100th birthday, we thought we'd take it back to a simpler time for Phillies fans, a time when the team showed promise and the city spent its nights singing Frank Stallone tunes around burning trashcans. It's better to live in an idealized past than eat your weight in Butterscotch Krimpets while worrying about the future.

In the 1970s, home run hitters were fueled by Jelly Krimpets...

Pennants were raised by Kandy Kake gnomes...

Women played baseball...

...and the only Hall of Fame that mattered was one that everyone agreed on.

From the inside pages of old Phillies yearbooks and our hearts to yours!

Happy birthday, Tastykake!
