The great Stanley Frank Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals, of course. He got the name when a sportswriter overheard a Brooklyn Dodger fan say 'uh-oh, here comes that man again' as Musial was walking to the plate at a game at Ebbetts Field, sometime in the 40s. In 1946 Musial led the National League in games played, at-bats, runs scored, hits, singles, doubles, triples, RBIs, total bases, slugging percentage, and batting average.

The Philadelphia Flyers teams of the 1970s. They were so mean, rough, and vicious that other teams were intimidated and scared shitless to play them.
First Edition (1972-1975) featured Dave "The Hammer" Schultz, Bob "The Hound" Kelly, Andre "Moose" Dupont, and Don "Big Bird" Saleski.
Second Edition (1976-1981) included Paul Holmgren, Mel Bridgman, Behn Wilson, Dave Hoyda, Glen Cochrane, and Ken "The Rat" Linseman. Those were the scariest teams in hockey history.
Third Edition (1981-approx. 1987) included Dave Brown, Rick Tocchett, Daryl Stanley and Craig Berube.

Movie starring Dustin Hoffman as Ratso Rizzo (from the Bronx) and a very young Jon Voight as Joe Buck (from Texas). It is the story of their misadventures trying to survive in New York City. Won Best Picture in 1969. Buck had come to NYC thinking he could make a living selling his body to women. When that plan failed, he resorted to seeking gay males as customers. The term midnight cowboy has been used meaning a male (straight or gay) who prowls for gay men who will pay him for sex.

A trilogy written by J.R.R. Tolkien, fantasy set in a place called Middle Earth, which is inhabited by hobbits and the like. While in high school in the early 70s, many of my fellow stoners were heavily into this trilogy and its precursor, The Hobbit. Led Zeppelin made references to it in a few of their songs, and Robert Plant was a known Tolkien enthusiest. This, of course, made it required reading for any self-respecting hippie, but I was strictly a poser when it came to this and other stoner sci-fi or fantasy, and after about the first 50 pages of the first book The Fellowship of the Ring, I found it too boring to read on.
