Used Baseball Glove for our Troops overseas
Posted: December 3rd, 2012, 7:23 amVance Albitz has a wonderful idea for our gloves we don't want any more. Gloves for our servicemen. Guess the government doesn't furnish gloves for our men and women in service, like many of us
know about from the many World War II gloves. Here's Vance opening statement>>
"Welcome to Gloves 4 Troops, an organization that was started by me, Vance Albitz, minor league prospect for the St. Louis Cardinals. Gloves 4 Troops is aiming to send away 1,000 baseball gloves to troops before the start of Spring Training, 2013. Recently, I was reading an article on our troops based in Afghanistan. I was intrigued to hear the response of one soldier when asked the question, “What would you like people back home to send you?”
“Baseball gloves and a baseball,” he said. “So much of our tasks are hurry up and go, followed by waiting.”
The decision was made shortly after that: 1,000 gloves to U.S. troops around the world. More than anything, they’ll know we’re thinking about them. Let’s make it happen."
