Looking for Minnesota Twins gloves

Postby mplsgloves » September 29th, 2019, 12:08 pm

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.

Just giving this post a bump to see if anyone might be able to help me out with my Minnesota Twins gloves want list. The ones I'm still looking for are:
Pedro Ramos (Dubow 739)
Chuck Stobbs (Dubow)
Rich Reese (Rawlings FJ15)
Dave Boswell (???)
Rick Dempsey (Rawlings RCM50-BT)
Mike Marshall (Rawlings 0046)

Since my initial post, my list has shrunk a bit as I've snagged a Hal Naragon mitt and this Zoilo Versalles beauty that just needed some new lace and a little cleaning:

The Zoilo personal model had definitely been #1 on my MN Twins gloves most wanted list so it was quite a thrill to cross it off after several years of hunting. Is it just me, or is this glove pretty rare? It sure took me awhile to find one.

Hey glove folks,
I'm still working on my big MN Twins glove rehab project so I wanted to bump this post again in hopes someone may be able to help with one of my want list gloves. Here are the elusive Twins gloves I'm still tryin to find:
Pedro Ramos (Dubow 739)
Chuck Stobbs (Dubow)
Reno Bertoia (Sonnett RB, RB-2)
Rich Reese (Rawlings FJ15)
Dave Boswell (???)
Mike Marshall (Rawlings 0046)

Since my last post, I found a Rick Dempsey target mitt and got to try my hand at a new type of glove rehab - leather painting! Using some of the leather paint products from the Angelus company, I was able to get the neon orange to really pop again. Here's the before and after:

Happy New Year all!

The update is I was able to cross Reno Bertoia off my list! I just finished doing my cleanup work on this old Sonnett beauty. Here's the before and after:

Great job on the Reno Bertoia - it's one of my favorite models! Good luck with the rest of the gloves - I had a Pedro Ramos by Dubow years back so there is at least one out there
