Decades '16 - Day 10

I Love the 10s



WILL & GRACE

2015

A comedian/actor played in five games of MLB spring training for ten teams to promote a comedy website. He played for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, Cincinnati Reds, Oakland Athletics, Seattle Mariners, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, and the San Francisco Giants, playing all 10 positions, including designated hitter. Later that year, we lost this actress:

WINNERS & LOSERS

1980s-2010s

A nationally-known video rental store chain opened in October, 1985, in Dallas, Texas. By 2010, they had over 4,000 US stores and 2,500 international stores, virtually wiping out "mom and pop" video stores along the way. Along came a company that sold videos from kiosks. They surpassed the chain store in 2007 in number of U.S. locations, and passed 1 billion rentals in September 2010. As of 2015, they had virtually wiped out the big, bad chain store. Karma is a bitch!
