Yard sale material.....Today i found a Rawlings PRO-SBB. It appears to have caught a lotta balls in its day(prolly missed sum 2). Who can tell when this was made and maybe what size it is. The code is barely visible, but the leather still feels nice. AEKO is the code.

ProSBB is a fastback, basket web, approximately 13". The "A" signifies that it was manufactured in 1993, the "EK" is May, and there should be an 01 at the end which would designate Horween leather. If it's an 09, then not Horween.

It seems that the glove is much larger but it is because the web crotch is cut deeper making the basket web larger and the appearance of a huge pocket. The PRO-SBT has the same cut but with an H-web or single post web. great outfielders glove that sucks up anything w/in 10' of the glove :wink:

So, you like the little flash animation I created of Kenny's "Before/After" wizardry? That XPG6 Mick really did come out nicely, as did the SH-PRO Boyer that I sent him. Well, pretty much EVERY gloves I've ever sent to KJ would be a candidate for such a Before/After video. :-) Kenny is the man for reline/rebind/relance/re-anything!
Now, on to the TT10s.....
