That mitt, Jim, would be banned in Boston. Great idea and we've probably all got homely gloves in our collection.
The home made job Ron Carlson got from me, I'd received from New Hampshire collector Andy Michael. I took it with me to Nocona for the folks there to have a look at it. Bob Storey took it to Ab Lemons, the glove guru there, and Ab took one glace and said, "Shhhheeeesh!" We all started laughing. Mr. Storey said that was the first time he'd ever heard Ab utter close to a curse word.
I'll try to get Mr. C. to take a picture of this "Frankenglove" for us.
My current playing glove gets ugly every now and then, but, hey, maybe it's my fielding. Naaah!
