There is a similar display sponsored by Rawlings at Jacobs Field in Cleveland.
They demonstrate bat making on a lathe, have one station where balls are being made from scratch and have a huge display that has all of the components of a glove laid out in individual pieces, just as they would look before any assembly work is done.
My favorite part of the display is a huge Heart of the Hide glove, complete with all the stampings and details, that is about a 48" pattern! They have it set-up on a stand that makes it like a chair and folks can plop down in it to have their picture taken.
I've got a few shots of it on my digital camera. Maybe I can get around to posting a few pics sometime.
I want that glove!
