Ball, Game Boy, and Big Wheel make hall of fame. What’s your favorite toy?
The ball has finally got its due.
The bouncy, round wonder has been inducted into The National Toy Hall of Fame at Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York, according to a press release.
The ball out dribbled nine other classic toys, including Cabbage Patch Kids, Game of Life, Hot Wheels, paper airplane, playing cards, the Rubik’s Cube, sidewalk chalk, toy tea set, and the Transformers.
It was joined by the Big Wheel and Nintendo Game Boy.
Forty four toys are in the National Toy Hall of Fame, including G.I. Joe, the baby doll, Barbie, Candy Land, the Easy-Bake Oven, roller skates, the jump rope, Frisbee, Atari 2600 Game System, checkers, alphabet blocks and the bicycle.
How was the ball not inducted years ago?
Balls and halls of fames go hand-in-hand - there’s the Football Hall of Fame, Baseball Hall of Fame, etc.
