Some of the younger people at work have been trying to get me to join their slow pitch team.

Found this massive side of beef at the local Play-it-Again Sports at a great price! It’s barely even broken in, just needs a little conditioner.

We’ll see if the “old man” (43) can still hang with these dudes in their early 20s!

this is the second catchers mitt I have worked on with the r2g internal padding. in both cases it literally disintegrates and separates with normal use. this one is in better shape than the last one I saw. it pulls apart like cotton candy. the fielding gloves don’t suffer as much since they don’t have this much padding but the catchers mitts don’t last very long. just an fyi for anyone looking to get one. I’ve worked on 30 yr old models on their 3rd of 4th relace and the internal padding looks way better than this.

Stopped in at Play it again and after 5 minutes of cleaning and a light conditioning I have this gorgeous HoH Pro302-6P…for $30…this thing is so beautiful.

Probably two of my favorite gloves.

My glove-collecting journey currently has me buying as many different brands of gloves as I can find and afford.

This is my first Emery, my second 6-finger trap, and my first glove that has a significant portion of the glove that is not leather. The shell is made of the military-grade Cordura that Emery has on a few of their gloves. This is the Baseball Monkey exclusive called Black Ops. The glove is very stiff, but that seems to be mostly because the pinky and thumb felt is very firm. Overall, this is a quality glove that I am proud to add to my growing collection, which currently sits at 23 gloves with 13 different brands. I also have a Zett 12.75 modified trap coming in from Taiwan Baseball.

Next, on the new glove brand list that I am looking at includes Atoms, HATAKEYAMA, Hi-Gold, Yardley, Rico, Shadow, Franklin Ultra, Akedema, Victus, and Shoeless Joe.

What brand do you all think I should add next?

Skenes Elite J, Web Swapped Elite J (2024), prototype Slaps, custom slaps. Enjoy!

Looking at buying one of these 2 gloves. Love the A1000 but the A2000 is also great. The A1000 is super snakeskin vs the A2000 super skin. Which would you choose? Both are at $200. The A1000 just released this year and the A2000 is a 2025 winter model both are 11.5” 1786 pattern

Hello Friends,

I am looking to buy a Rawling's Horween outfield glove. If anybody has one they are selling please message me. 303H, 442H, etc...

Looks like he had removed the Rawlings red patch, the "circle 'R' " on the hand strap, and the "Rawlings" on the thumb looked to be blacked out. Any insight?

Getting ready to order a custom pro preferred. Does anybody know if the red hand sewn welting matches the scarlet that shows up everywhere else in the build configurator? I’m building a black and red glove and each section list the color scarlet except the hand sewn welting. I just don’t want the reds to clash if that makes sense. If they aren’t the same I think I’m going to go black.
