Thanks Mike! This is one of my favorite areas : to see what the major leaguers were wearing especially in the 1960s and earlier era.
Note on most of Mike's photos, the gloves are relatively new. Probably made by manufacture's publicity or advertising camera. Mantle shows that vertical split web and probably a predecessor to the Rawlings "Bellows Web." Tresh with the standard strap connector on the open web. Some players had the rolled lace vertical connector and Mantle is pictured with one on the cover of Sport Magazine.
Little surprised about Mays wearing a Spalding glove. He was known for using MacGregor and Rawlings. Picture made with Ted at an all-star game in the mid 1950s? Killer was
Wilson user through and through as most of his glove pix will attest.
Billy Williams, I'm guess an XPG3 with that overlapping crotch.
"Hey Rabbit. You've got a hole in your glove!" :twisted:

Does anyone remember when the players used to throw their gloves in the field when they would leave the defense and go in to bat?

Young ballplayer with his new duck web glove. The glove may have a small celluloid button.

HI Mike, what's the original source of these New York Times Glove Archives? Are these gloves currently located somewhere? Provenances behind them?
Thanks for posting.

The gloves were photographed at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. They are all World Series game used. They were posted on Oct. 26, 2010 in NY Times Magazine on-line edition. The link below has some interactive features plus other gloves. Enjoy!

Circa 1905-1910 buckle web catchers mitts. This one looks to also have a crescent pad. Interesting in the time lapse photograph that the catchers hand moved while the lens was uncovered.

The mitt in the photo below looks to have a triple sewn pocket. The buckle web is somewhat obscured but the strap along the perimeter band is there. The bats are pretty cool.

Here's another photo of Satchell Paige and his triple tunnel web glove. It does look like a Wilson or maybe a Spalding.

Two nice ads from 1951.

Thanks Mike: Jerry Coleman is supposed to be the only baseball player to have seen combat in two wars (WWII and Korea). Casey Stengel said he was one of the best second basemen he'd ever seen.
I think the Joe DiMaggio rolled web glove was used at a later time than given as in 1938. Rawlings didn't have a rolled lace glove at that time according to my catalogs.
Who is the "Unlucky Dog" in the T H team photo?
