The Baldies

The Baldies were a South Minneapolis, Minnesota street gang that existed from 1955 to 1975. Some members graduated to politics like Tommy "The Bomber" Ogdahl. The Baldies were identified by their closely cropped hair and Ivy League, or preppy style, in contrast to their "Greaser" rivals, the Animals, who wore slicked back hair and leather jackets.
