Monday PSA: The Hit That Ended the Ball Game
Filed under: Medicine, Politics
Since it’s the opening day of the baseball season, I thought it would be a good idea to start with a baseball-related PSA.
This ad comes from Supergirl #5 (June 1973) and is an anti-drug PSA from the makers of Huskie shoes. (Of course, in today’s climate, this ad still applies, only this time it’s referring to steroids or HGH). It’s one of the few PSAs I’ve seen that is part of an actual company-sponsored advertisement as opposed to the ususal “public service” ad.
For another baseball-related PSA, check out “Danger: Prejudice at Work”
There are too many anti-drug PSAs to choose from, so here are a few choice ones from the files: “We Can Stop the Enemies of Youth,” “The Amazing Spider-Man in Double Trouble,” and “The New Teen Titans as part of the President’s Drug Awareness Campaign.”
