Buster/Tim in the 70s.

Huh….dunno that I’m up for writing fic on this prompt but I can do headcanons. :)

Tim would smoke more during the season because they didn’t test back then and he might do other drugs–because I can totally see him pulling a Doc Ellis and pitching a no hitter while on acid. Buster would probably drink more and maybe be more inclined to casually cheat on his wife, simply because that was the culture at the time. They’d use greenies because everyone did.

And oh god can you imagine how Tim would dress? Flares! Vests! All those weird, muddy 70s colors like burnt orange and brown–which, incidentally would make him look hella sallow. He’d stick to the mustache, though, because beards weren’t as varied as they are now–you maybe had a goatee, but mostly guys had beards like BB9 and Bum or they didn’t have one at all. 

[I wrote all that and then checked a pic of the ‘76 Giants and it looks like they were pretty clean shaven although there was a lot of long hair. They might have had a rule about it, unlike the guys across the Bay. Still, if they didn’t, Tim would try the ‘stache.]

Buster would probably dress pretty much like he does now but his hair might be a little shaggier and, God help us, he’d probably try for side burns. Actually given his vanity and the way he messes with his hair–seriously he uses a LOT of product–he’d probably go for the “dry look” and blow dry it.

I can’t remember if they had a players dress code back then, but Buster would wear polyester suits, wide ties and short sleeved dress shirts. Tim would go more modern but he’d still wear polyester because we all wore polyester. It was a dark time.

Neither of them would be as fit or as buff as they are now. Players, especially pitchers, were discouraged from working out in the off season on the assumption that they’d get too muscle-bound. And of course, they didn’t eat as well as they do now since sports nutrition was in its infancy.

Also, they might have off season jobs, especially if we’re talking early 70s, because they didn’t make anything near the kind of money they make now even adjusting for inflation. Buster would probably go home in the off season and work with his dad and God only knows what Tim would do. I’m not 100% of this but there most likely weren’t long term contracts, so they’d have to renegotiate every spring.

Their personalities fit pretty much into the era, though. Buster straight–in attitude if nothing else–and narrow and Tim freaky and weird. They would be super super closeted–none of this thing where other guys on the team know about it and are okay with it. But, since guys roomed together on the road, they’d have that advantage. They’d probably have very defined roles in the relationship–one of them, probably Buster would be the top and they wouldn’t switch it up–although that’s going on the porn of the era and not what guys were actually like behind closed doors.  There wouldn’t be that meaningful decision to bareback because dudes didn’t have to use condoms. 

If they weren’t ball players but lived in SF, Buster would be a motorcycle cop with very definite ideas about who tops and how they do it–him and strictly–and  Tim would be a musician with a leather fetish who wanted to be a little more flexible in the bedroom.

Send me a word and I'll write a headcanon based off of it

I'm determined to fill my journal with dorky headcanons

[whimsygardens-archives]

[So many drafts... So many.

And so little inspiration... Sigh... I'm just spitting out headcanons over at Morgaine on Skype, but I can't seem to bring myself to sit and actually write shit for Jack. Ugh.]
