Shoeless and Gloveless

As we all probably know, Baseball's Hall of Fame has made mistakes on its equipment before, i.e. the handball glove which the Hall had on display and featured in a book, that was claimed to be a before turn of the century baseball glove.
Now we have this. Just wondering who the hall will turn to in authenticating a Joe Jackson game glove.>>

Fans of Shoeless Joe Jackson felt some consolation that his jersey, baseball glove and bat were in the Baseball Hall of Fame even if he couldn’t be named a Hall of Famer.
But last week the Hall of Fame announced what some baseball researchers already knew: the jersey is fake. The glove has been taken off display for authentication.
