Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

In the late 70's or early 80s there was a great magazinne article in one of the sports magazinesabout various pro players and their relationshps with their gloves. I have tried to fiind it and cant and wondered if anyone could help me. I hve more than a caasural interest in gloves. Bill Doak who patented the "WEB" with Rawlings was lmy grandfather.

Welcome to the forum. Your best bet would be to check out the library at JD's site which is http://www.baseballglovecollector.com/1/?page_id=141 - you'll have to register but it's quick and easy.

That is super cool that Doak was your grandfather. If you read around this site, you'll see that many collectors have an affinity for his model gloves. I think there are some specific articles in JD's library as well about Doak gloves.
