I bet this would be Rawlings' #1 seller if they mass-produced it. The Jeter model is the only thing that could beat it in sales because people want the same gloves that players use. Yet it seems every year they come out with things that no pros use like Dual Core and Italian leather. Do they think the Mickey Mantle glove would have been so popular if it wasn't what he used and didn't have his name?
I'm a business major with a focus on marketing and if I worked for Rawlings I would propose a whole campaign based on game model gloves. Doc, could you try to at least run the idea by some of the higher-ups. I don't see any argument they could have against the introduction of at least a few, while stopping the lowest-selling models.
