The glove with the Man
Posted: March 20th, 2011, 4:52 pmSome recent baseball obituaries over the last 12 months, especially of several hall of famers, who have passed away, reminds as always of their store gloves. Just a few:
Bobby Bragan - Nokona
Willie Davis - Wilson
Billy Loes -- Nokona
Robin Roberts - MacGregor
Bob Feller - Wilson and Higgins
Gil McDougald - MacGregor
Duke Snider - Rawlings
Bobby Thomson - MacGregor
The most recent has been Marty "Slats" Marion -- the shortstop magician of the 1940s -- and who can forget his retail "Mr. Shortstop" G600 gloves that were so popular during that decade.
Many a kid was thrilled at Christmas to get the "Mr. Shortstop" model. First one I picked up had "Paul Bunyan" leather!
