need Grove photos?

Postby softball66 » August 11th, 2009, 7:55 am

Lefty Grove used a Reach that emulated the Dazzy Vance glove of Ken Wel in that it had two vertical lacings running thru the fingers, except extending both laces all the way thru the pinkie finger. I'm looking for images/photos of Grove wearing this glove with particular attention to close up of the glove.
I've had one such shot with Lefty at the top of his windup, the glove over his head which is an excellent representation. Many thanks.

Further confirms the gamer I saw at auction house. Right now I can't find that Dazzy Vance knockoff in the Reach catalog .
I've got somewhere in my files a closeup shot of Lefty in the top of his windup that is clear as a bell. If anyone has this picture or has seen it, please lemme know.
Thanks again for your help.
Joe :)

Grove Glove Shot

Postby softball66 » August 12th, 2009, 5:53 pm

The particular picture of Grove with his glove I believe was shown in a small booklet prepared by the A. J. Reach company covering their gloves. Besides the photo of Grove, there was a shot of Mickey Cochrane with his triple face mitt.
Anyone having this booklet, it would be appreciated to get some photocopies.
Thanks again :)
