Sweet Trap on Jenkins

[opticsp]

I was at the Mets/Phillies game last night and noticed Geoff jenkins wearing what looked like a classic HOH TB24. Check it out. It looks like it has been re-laced a few times and has caught thousands of flies. Very Sweet!

If its a classic its a PRO-T Wonder what MLB player uses the oldest glove...? I see Schoenweiss using a PRO-6XBCB...not sure if its and oldie or BC makes them for him.

How can you tell? What is the difference?

here's his pro6XBCB

the 2000 model looks like the old school round patch (possibly oil tanned)

Now that is one sweet glove. If only it would spread some of its brilliance on its user!

Damn, I thought for sure it was a HOH. The leather does not look like PP and for some reason the laces look replaced (although I realize that does not mean anything). I like to think it is old school since I consider him to be an old school player.

Thanks for the pics Ed. I was hoping to see SS using a USA 6X..no doubt a custom. Probably not a MLB'er using a pre 2000 glove...?

mark e mark, that is one fine stack of 6's! USA no doubt

Russ Springer has been using the same glove his entore big league career...note you will see him wearing differnt gloves in photo ops in spring trainning etc but his gamer is the same wing tip he has been using his entre career.

found this quote in the wall street journal ....To gauge its contemporary appeal, I tracked down Houston Astros pitcher Russ Springer, the only major leaguer wearing a direct descendant of the XPG6, the Pro 6XBC. Mr. Springer's 13-year-old "gamer" -- the glove players reserve for use in games -- was broken in flatter and had a few small design differences, but our gloves were otherwise identical, and equally aged. "That's personality," he said approvingly.
