The '80s had it all, from bad hair to bad clothes. Come to think of it, the entire decade could pretty much be summed up by a trip to the Astrodome to watch Mike Scott and the home team in their yellow and orange horizontal stripes.
Artificial turf seemed to cover more diamonds than natural grass. Nothing much covered Daisy Duke or Kevin McHale below the waist at work. And we couldn't get enough of any of it -- with the possible exception of McHale's pasty legs. Now, if you'll excuse us, we're going to shoo some kids off our lawn.
Shudder-worthy fashion trends and synthesized music aside, the decade had its fair share of memorable sports moments. With Mike and Mike getting ready for Tuesday's '80s celebration on ESPN Radio, Page 2 ranked the top 80 sports moments of the decade.
We can't believe the Colts experimenting with the wishbone offense during the 1987 NFL work stoppage and anything involving Manute Bol missed the cut, but what do we know.
