When Major League Baseball’s most feared hitter, St. Louis Cardinal Albert Pujols, was a rookie in 2001, he placed this black Nike Diamond Pro mitt upon his hand and went on to capture (in unanimous fashion) the National League’s Rookie of the Year, as well as playing a big part in his team’s post-season appearance. With his name stitched in gold along thumb and next to a unique embroidered Nike swoosh, this model PDPRO 1301 also has another version of the stitched swoosh along its middle finger and wrist. A stirring memento from the beginning days of a star who keeps building upon his early accomplishments, on into his future as one of baseball’s all-time greats. Glove shows nice game use from one of baseball's biggest stars.
