For the past couple years I have been trying to find and fix up a glove for every Minnesota Twins player who has ever had an endorsed glove. This may sound like a strange, random quest but I've really enjoyed how this project has allowed my to satisfy my interests in vintage glove research, glove restoration, and Twins baseball history. By primarily hunting ebay and local thrift stores, I've been able to find gloves for over 40 Twins players (way more than I assumed would exist!) but now I'm down to the last few players on my want list whose gloves seem to surface quite infrequently. So if anyone can help me track down gloves for the following players I would be extremely grateful:
Hal Naragon (Wilson A2556, A2572)
Pedro Ramos (Dubow 739)
Chuck Stobbs (Dubow)
Zoilo Versalles (Macgregor GS4, GS7, TG111)
Rich Reese (Rawlings FJ15)
Dave Boswell (???)
Rick Dempsey (Rawlings RCM50-BT)
Mike Marshall (Rawlings 0046)
Please note, I am definitely not hung up on finding these gloves in pristine collectible condition. I really enjoy fixing up gloves so I actually prefer gloves that are well used and need some work as long as they aren't too damaged or rotten for my repair skills to salvage.
Finally, here is my working list of all the Twins players who have ever had an endorsed glove. I've done a lot of research to compile this list but its entirely possible I may have missed someone so I welcome anyone who can help me add any Twins gloves I may have overlooked. Also, although I have at least one glove for most of the layers on the list, I am always interested in upgrades and interesting additions to my collection so please let me know if you have any Twins gloves that might be of interest.
