Rawlings Pro SXSC

[DT]

I was reading this article about Omar Vizquel:
http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1007916/2/index.htm

It says he uses a Rawlings Pro SXSC which they don't make for the public anymore. I couldn't find anything on the net about this glove - none for sale on eBay.

Does anyone know anything about this glove. What style web, how big, etc?

Maybe docglov knows a little something about Omar's glove?

Ive seen 1/2 on Ebay over like 5 years. Its an all tan HOH with a one piece web. Im pretty sure it has all that stitching on the back like the PRO5's, but I guess with newer gloves that gets dropped. Also, he technically uses an SSK now, right?

About an 11", great leather...here's a good example

Cool, thanks.

I found this article, looks like he signed a contract with SSK, but didn't like the glove. So he continued to use a Rawlings with an SSK patch sewn on to it.

I saw the Pads and Giants play today and had the chance to chat with Omar and about his Glove.....he's back to using one of Bob's without any printing inside and it has the Gold Labels.....he said. "I wanted to people to know I use a Rawlings". That's why he's no longer using the Rawlings with the SSK label sewn on it. Pretty Cool!

Thanks toad, Bob C. is the master. Do you know anything else about the glove. Does he still play with the SXSC?

[MVALZ]

He uses something very close to the SC....

Thanks MVALZ - why I didn't use the "Search" function, I'll never know.

Beautiful glove in that link, wish I had known it was for sale when it was available. That's what I get for not going into the other sections of the site!

It has no markings on the inside at all. Doc may be able to tell us the model number. It appears to be the old SXSC but I can say for sure.
