Hi

Completely new to all this! I've NEVER been to a ball game...(not many about in the UK)

I've always had a thing for ball gloves though, the smell, fit, feel and the sound when you catch.

My latest glove I know nothing about! - Could you guys tell me more?

It's a MacGregor HRK 715, it's dark brown with gold lettering and is in nearly mint condition. The guy I got it off used it twice...

Any info would be great!

Thanks

Welcome!

Nice Mac. HRK stands for Home Run King. They were produced as a result of Hank Aaron hitting his 715th homer in 1974 to break Babe Ruth's home run record.

I can only speak generally about the glove as I am at the office. I am sure someonwe with the Source Book can correct/add to this.

I'm sure you'll find it's a great place to visit!
