Atabat's posting of Joe Cronin circa 1936 with a pristine white sewn web got me thinking about white and black gloves. We've all seen a lot of them from the sewn web era, but they became less and less common after that, especially white ones. I can see the rationale for phasing out the white ones, they don't stay white for long. Rawlings, MacGregor Goldsmith, and Geo. Reach made the odd black model into the 1940s and I remember somebody posting a beautiful black Spalding DiMaggio years ago. The only black 1950s glove I can think of was a Nokona model, and by the 60s, they seem pretty much nonexistent. It's too bad. I keep thinking how cool a black Musial Playmaker would look.
This is the one black 1960s glove I have. I wish I had one as a kid. It probably wouldn't have helped my fielding, but at least I would have looked cool way, way out there in right field.
Anyone else remember any 50s or 60s black or white (!) ones?
