I retired my Pro A 2000 after the 1996 season which was the last season I played organized adult baseball (NABA). It was replaced by an SSK Pro 2500. The Pro A 2000 was my secondary glove for baseball as I played more infield than outfield (I was one of those utility men..competent at many positions, but master of none...oh well...I just enjoyed playing)
I prefer my gloves on the stiff side so I do replace them every few years. I do maintain the old ones I keep.
These days if I were to play baseball again, I probably would have to do a lot of DHing or play 1st Base. Shoulder injuries have caught up to me over the years. I do have a early 90s Made in Japan Mizuno WorldWin 1st base glove that I picked up new for $10 in the late 90s at a Champs Sporting Goods outlet store (this was when Champs was a full line sporting goods shop). It would make a great gamer.
