Hey Guys,
So I started cleaning off a bargain bin I picked up last week and came up with a Jim Oglesby endorsed first base mitt. I am not sure on the manufacturer as I didn't get into heavy cleaning around it, however I can read SPORTS RADIO going through the logo. Model number is BMO and reads genuine horsehide. So I did minor digging, this guy only played up for 3 games with the Athletics in 1936 and had 11 ab's and had a .182 avg. So a few questions. Is this a rare mitt? Has anyone seen an Oglesby? And why the heck did this guy even have an endorsed mitt given the fact he literally played for 3 games? Did minor leaguers get endorsed often?
