One can almost feel the defensive greatness emanating from this circa 1990 first baseman's glove game worn by Don Mattingly. Black Franklin glove has the company logo blacked out on the thumb side but not the outside, outstanding use shown in the pocket and webbing in which Donnie Baseball picked countless potentially errant throws. Inscribed on the thumb in silver Sharpie, To Jake, Best Wishes, with his signature below. It seems likely that only the back injury that hampered him in has later years kept him from the halls of Cooperstown, as he amassed a career .307 batting average and set a record for first basemen with nine Gold Gloves; this very item is a part of that legacy. PSA LOA for autograph.
