Why didn't Rawlings make some pro gloves available to the general public back in the "BLACK HORSE" era? Why are PRO-SPT's so hard to come by...and don't say that I have them all (I only have four, and I'm positive Rawlings made more. I know you're out there somewhere....but where?

Clearly you HAD all of them at one time or another, I mean you are positive Rawlings made more. Thinking Rawlings would never run out, you went through one every other day (since it was your personal model that Doc broke in for you). Being a superstar infielder with a bigtime Rawlings deal, exclusively with Doc, you were living the dream. This was of course until one day when a mid roid rage Jose Canseco took you out at second on a double play ending your career. Rawlings cut ties with you, and Doc went to work for Ripken and Ryno. You were left with the last 4 SPT's you were given. Its as simple as that.

That being said, yes, I couldnt agree with you more.
