BS, we all know you're going to buy a GILT + Threadless T-shirt. I'm going to be looking very closely at that National glove get together photo. :wink:

William, did you ever think you'd be listed with the likes of a demolition robot, a see through toaster and the complete Knight Rider collection? :lol:

Good to see you out in the media - hope it pays off big time!!

Well, I've found those GILT + Threadless T's to be extremely comfortable when piloting my Hyper Sub. :roll:
Very cool William!

I've been so busy with my email today that I neglected to check the forum before posting my own thread! Oops! A very good day indeed.

Mr. Mitt, thanks for posting that weblink. My wife is going to have to hide the credit card now. Star Wars voices for the GPS!!! There's an empty spot I've always had inside me. I tried to fill it with family, religion, community service, but those were dead ends! I think the Star Wars GPS voices are the answer. (yes, another Simpsons reference).

Number9, have you noticed a surge in webviews today?

Ricky & Brett, stop making fun of my metrosexual tendencies... I have feelings :cry:

William, that's fantastic! I hope you received a whole slew of orders and not just browsers. As a side note, perhaps this advertising could bring some new blood to the hobby. Brett and Jim should keep track of thier web-trafic over the next few days as well. Would be interesting to see if there is any carry over interest.

Nearly 1800 visitors came by my site, with just about 200 coming back for a second look. That's a HUGE day for me. If another (soon to be named) opportunity comes from this, it could potentially blow this day out of the water.

Best part is, I had no idea it was happening.

Time to make the doughnuts................

Wow, that's great! Looks like my new duty at the National will be to shield you from adoring and zealous fans!

Bill, congrats! Do you have your own web site up with your replicas? Or have I just missed it? :?: :lol:

Thanks Joe! I sure do. Here's a link http://www.huntingtonbaseballco.com/Home/Welcome.html The glove collection is on the products page. Most of the links that I've posted on the forum in the past have been for restoration work.

Bill, classic site! Love it! I'll be ordering some stuff for you. Was curious if you've had any requests from "re-enactment" teams? We've scheduled a glove meeting for here in Dallas on
the 16th of May and I will let the guyz know about your information.
I applaud you for your interest and dedication. Who says we can't go back?
Joe :lol:

Cool! Yeah,I get inquiries pretty frequently from vintage ball players. Most are shocked that I make the gloves for use. There are a few teams in my immediate area and a ton more in the surrounding regions. Vintage baseball is definitely growing, that's for sure.
