I wanted to try out this polling feature so I came up with a simple question to get us started.

Brett, I don't know how to respond but put me down for A.J. Reach all the way for early gloves and Rawlings for 1950's and later gloves.
For me, it's kinda like cars. Pre-1950 - Fords all the way. Post 50, I'm all Chevy and no Ford. Rawlings is kind of like Chevy for me. I wouldn't want a pre-1950 Chevy and I probably would have used any other glove than a Rawlings prior to that. Once you hit the 50's, Chevy's ruled and Rawlings had all the best gloves. I have always used Rawlings and will always use them as they are my Chevrolet of gloves.
Kind of a stupid analogy but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
