Deliberately misleading?

It's listed as a workman's glove but the description says it has a one inch web which somehow managed to hide itself in the pictures. Huh?!

Well, we've had this discussion before about MEARS and how the webbing conveniently isn't photographed while the description says "workman's style". Given that this is the second time it's occurred, to me, it's not a coincidence, it's deliberate. It's a play on words that, in my opinion, tries to take advantage of uninformed buyers.

I don't collect bats, or anything game used, but I still don't understand the semantics used in that segment of the hobby such as game used, game issued, etc. etc. And, guess who's running that show?!?!? Dishonest, plain and simple.

I think we may have discussed this glove here and at the Net54 forum as well. It is a very small glove despite what the description says - I've seen it person at the past few Nationals. It is in good shape and has a neat tag but it is tiny!!!
