Sorry Gregg, I just hafta ask..Is that good or bad..😊

[gregszybala]

It's good! Tried using it when a kid and thought oh know, to much work trying to keep the ball in that glove. Much easier with laced fingers!

One lone glove, lotsa memories...I feel the anticipation again...I hear the crowd cheering, booing, silent...I smell the hotdogs the popcorn and the orange blossoms...I have no glove to remind me, but will never forget those warm pleasant days and evenings in the forties, when as kids we sold full team autographed yankee baseballs to foolish unsuspecting tourists for five dollars, imagine that...Those men that played the game were our heroes, back then, back then in the old days we were rich in so many ways back then...And rich now because now is the old days In our children’s lives after all, isn’t it...And lucky me, I get to do it all over again for yet a little while...Thank you Darrel🥲

the truth the whole truth and nuthin but 😉

Now I’m trying to figure out what happened to dad’s old glove. It was similar.
