Glove Get Together - National - Baltimore Orioles Game

[vintagebrett]

Finally got a chance to take a picture of my pick-ups - this is the only one currently in house. It is a Victor Wright Ditson Canadian made sewn web. This color matches up with my three finger Lutzke style (which has a different tag). Too pretty of a glove to pass up.

[Mr. Mitt]

I can't help but feel like I stoked the discussion fire a bit with my earlier comments. Simply playing the role of agitator (filling in for Murph).

And for that, we love you man. Well said William. I'll have a beer with you anytime.

Here is my other glove pickup from the show - the wrist strap was broken and needed a small repair. Pretty neat glove - we've named him Franken Finger.

Here was my fun pickup. Will someone please teach me how to take a decent picture. I would date it to the 1910's. I have seen this one for years in the early Reach catalogs and have always wanted it.

Sweet!

[ebbets55]

That's funny. That's what Dolce (dulce) means in Spanish. Not as nice as your pickups but I'm happy.

Here is my other purchase from the show - Dr. Peebles doesn't just fix gloves, he's got a degree in Boxology as well! This thing was trashed when I got it but now it's sturdy and looks fabulous. My only problem is I have four different model 758 gloves - which one do I put with the box?

The segment that ESPN filmed is set to run tonight on E:60 on ESPN at 7 pm ET. Not sure if we made the cut but if we did, all I can say, is I'm not really that dorky all the time.

[Mr. Mitt]

Can't wait to see it ! ! !

I can vouch, after many meetings with Brett, that he's pretty dorky only about 96.7% of the time!

[ebbets55]

Dude! You gave him a bat and he edited out the interview. Not cool.

so they tease you the whole show to give you just 4 minutes of the convention. Bret makes the cut but come on, a glove guy gives away a bat.

add 3.3% to the above

[vintagebrett]

It's good that he edited the interview - they showed the only intelligible part of when I was talking to him. I wanted to give him a glove but I never could come up a with a nice Simmons Hardware model.

Not dorky at all, but I have to agree with Murph, great job promoting vintage gloves on national television by giving away a friggin' bat!!!
