 Fifty years ago, Gene Roddenberry, a visionary screenwriter and producer, drafted a proposal for an American sci-fi television series that would be known as Star Trek.  Originally called the “Wagon Train to the Stars”, Star Trek is a classic futuristic TV series that revolves around the interstellar journey of humans and other intelligent alien beings to explore the vast universe.  It talks about the adventures of these beings as they travel through outer space.  Led by Captain James Kirk, the Starship Enterprise, also known as the USS Enterprise, was the humans’ spaceship that brought them to the depths of the still unknown universe.  Although it only lasted for three seasons, the original Star Trek inspired millions and millions of fans worldwide so that eventually, five television spin-off series (including Star Trek: The Animated Series) and at least eleven films were produced to meet the huge demand.  The show is already five decades old but the fans are still growing in number; even generations today are hooked into watching and re-watching the episodes.

Trekkers, as the fans fondly call themselves, show their support in more ways than one.  Some wear costumes to parties, some spend a lot buying collectible items, and some show appreciation by simply attaching Star Trek cufflinks to the sleeves of their shirts.  These are silver cufflinks that have the Star Trek emblem, a star with one point at the top and two points at the bottom forming an arch.  These and many other recreation games cufflinks are perfect gifts for your fellow Trekkers.

Golf, football and basketball may seem to be the most favorite sports among children and adults today, but baseball remains to be America’s pastime.  Despite the worldwide popularity of the first three sports mentioned, baseball is still considered the most widely-known sport in America.  It is a sport that probably every American citizen knows something about, and before the advent of television, computers, and the Internet, playing baseball was literally how the Americans passed the time.  Invented sometime in the 18th century, it became America’s “national pastime” in the 19th and early 20th centuries.  It has been a favorite hobby for more or less two hundred and fifty years already, even older than football, basketball and other popular sports.  Standing the test of time for two and a half centuries, this sport has produced so many great memories and introduced a lot of notable incredible players like George Herman Ruth (most commonly known as Babe Ruth), Walter Johnson, Willie Keeler and Honus Wagner.

In baseball, the pitcher and the batter are the two players who have the most pressure on them, sharing the spotlight with each other.  Their conflicting roles are the centerpiece of the ball game.  Knowing this, people who are in the business of selling designer cufflinks thought of making baseball pitcher and batter cufflinks designed to attract potential patrons who are into baseball.  If you love baseball, you will definitely like these baseball cufflinks.  If you don’t like baseball but like cufflinks nevertheless, you may want to look at these silver cufflinks and see if there’s something that suits your taste.

We have different ways of showing support for our favorite artists, the organization we belong to, our most loved authors, or even our favorite sports like bowling.  One reason why bowling is a much loved sport is that it’s very fun to play.  It’s exciting to see who among your friends can roll the bowling ball the best and hit the most pins to score the highest.  Aside from that, bowling doesn’t require you to have your own set of expensive equipment, which other sports such as golf do.

Bowling fans have various ways of showing love for the sport.  Some of them buy a shirt with a drawing of bowling pins or a bowling ball at the center, or a picture of their favorite player such as the Guinness World Records awardee, Rafael “Paeng” Nepomuceno, or Walter Ray Williams, the bowler who holds the record for most number of titles in the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour.  Some buy collectibles like mugs, tumblers, or coffee cups that have bowling designs.  There are those who collect stamps, stickers or other art works having bowling as the theme.

Another way some people express love for the sport is by wearing novelty cufflinks, specifically the bowling cufflinks they can attach to the buttonholes or collars of their long-sleeved shirts.  These cufflinks feature a white bowling pin and a black bowling ball stud.  There are multi-colored and plain silver cufflinks with different designs you can choose from, but if you are a bowling lover, you can surely find joy in having your very own bowling cufflinks.
