Joe Torre and his Pinkie Ring

Posted by: Richie Rich in Commercials, Mets, Uniforms, Yankees, YouTube

Pinkie RingOur latest commercial is from the late seventies, as current New Tork Yankees manager Joe Torre hawks some fine looking suits for the defunct Bond’s Clothing Store in New York City …

I’m pretty sure that Torre was managing the New York Mets when he made this commercial.

I love how Torre and another gentleman have successfully accessorized their Three-Piece Suits with Pinkie Rings.  Can you get any more 1970’s New York Italian-American than that?  Torre is from New York.

I’m guessing that Bond’s dressed the Corleone family.

    The other gentleman in this commercial with the big glasses is my grandfather. This video has been taken off you tube and have yet to find it anywhere else.
