1987 Baltimore Thunder Lacrosse Tee

The Baltimore Thunder were one of the founding teams in the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League (renamed in 1989 to the Major Indoor Lacrosse League), winning the first league championship in 1987 (that's not saying much - there were only 4 teams that first season). Featuring legendary player Gary Gait in its final two seasons, the Thunder played at Baltimore Arena until the franchise moved to Pittsburgh after the 1999 season. 

From a 1987 Sports Illustrated article:

"For all you jaded NHL and NBA fans who complain that the regular season seems meaningless, welcome to the Eagle League, a new bargain-basement box lacrosse outfit in which the regular season is meaningless: All four franchises made the playoffs, and in the title game on Saturday at the Capital Centre near Washington, neither opponent had a winning record. In fact, the team that won the championship had tied for last in the standings.

Eagle League lacrosse differs from the field variety in that the goals are smaller, the sticks are shorter and each squad has 6 players instead of 10. It's played in a hockey rink on artificial turf and paced by a 45-second shot clock. But while field lacrosse is a comparatively genteel sport played by alleged gentlemen, pro box offers a brand of play that's often downright vicious."
