I'm surprised no one has asked about the picture of the pretty girl on the wall behind the A2000.

No-Lite, the catchers mitts behind the A2000 is a Spalding 42-733 Jim Pagliaroni, and behind that is a Rawlings DB35 Gene Oliver. The three catcher's mitts on the bottom left from left to Right is a Rawlings CC5 Clint "Scrap Iron" Courtney (I love the inscribed nickname on it) second is a Spalding 42-727 Charley Lau, and the third one is a Rawlings 216 Pete Daley. The far right is a Rawlings DB45 Elston Howard and behind it I think is a Rawlings DB15 Sherman Lollar (I've since moved gloves around since the picture) I have about ten other Catcher's mitts in one of my boxes. One is a super nice HOH Earl Battey. And a real sorry looking Mitt that some bright kid sprayed with red spray paint, I'm on the lookout for a replacement Rawlings Ed Bailey (mine is just too rotten).

Thud, thanks 4 that info. The 2 mitts that intrigues most are the Spalding 42-733. (Behind the A2000) Even though I can't fully see it. The other is the Rawlings 216 Pete Daley. If you ever think about putting those two up 4 sell , give me a pm. And I would like to give the Elston Howard DB45 a mention. That's the finest looking double- hinged catchers mitt I've ever seen.

Jim Pagliaroni eh? Geez, I was a big fan of his when I first started listening to Boston Red Sox games as a young kid. Man, I'm getting old. Lou Clinton, Dick "Stone Fingers" Stuart (aka Dr. Strangeglove), Chuck Schilling, Eddie Bressoud, Frank Malzone,.......

Hello,
Is that a McGregor at the top in the middle (5th from the left)? I'm probably way too late, however, I'd like to know if it available.

Thanks
