I am sure most of us thumb through baseball books and old photos and examine the equipment/gloves that the players were using. One particular glove that I find of interest is the Lutzke type/ 3 finger. This particular glove I've seen pitchers and infielders use. My favorite thing to do is when people come over my house (baseball fans who are non glove folks) is to show them a particular glove make/model and tell them what former major leaguer used that type/style of glove. I know there is a picture of Rogers Hornsby using a 3 finger and I just stumbled across a photo in a book that shows second basemen Max Bishop of the Philadelphia Athletics using one. I know players like Ehmke, Hornsby, Mails, and Jimmie Reese had 3 finger endorsements. Also, Rawlings had a Doak Model and in 1931 Wilson advertised a Chas. Ruffing 3 . I also located a copy of a Ken Wel advertisement for a Fonseca.
Any others? Does anyone else have pictures of stars using a 3 finger?
Here is a pic of Bishop. I will post my D&M ad, Wilson ad, and Ken Wel.
