Welcome to my collection
(obsession)
Like so many I grew up a fan, player, student of the game. I've hung up the spikes pretty much at this point, having played from t-ball through old man wood bat leagues, coached, helped out in youth baseball, all that fun stuff. When my dad passed away a few years ago I brought his two gloves out of the garage, had the old catchers' mitt restored by an absolute master (and pretty good knuckleballer), and put both in a place of honor on the shelf.
Since then, over the last couple of years, the collection has grown. Gloves pick up so many important and emotional points for me: family, history, craftsmanship, and I game I've always loved.
I want to use this collection to meet other folks who feel the same way I do, maybe sell and trade a few, maybe pontificate a bit on the blog in wildly sentimental way I wouldn't express anywhere else - we'll see. I'd love to connect.
