JD that is great close-up resolution on your photos of the gloves. I can't get that from many of my lo-rez internet searches. Those are nice vintage gloves. I have a full web version of the buckle back
webless model pictured and have been curious about the two cross seams on the forefinger. It must have been unique to a certain manufacturer. I don't see many around.
Brett, thanks for the heads up about the Goodwin & Co. book. I didn't know one existed. I found one reasonably priced online and am looking forward to perusing through it. It looks like it was well written and documented thoroughly.
Here's a relatively modern day photo of Robin Roberts with the Yankees in 1961. He stayed around just long enough for a cup of coffee before on to another team. Weird to not see him in a Phillies uniform. He jettisoned one of my favorites, the Macgregor "Spider Web" glove in favor of a Rawlings model.
