The worst defensive players are said to have holes in their gloves, and the guy who wore this mitt on his left hand literally did! The earliest of styles when it comes to full-fingered baseball gloves, this workman's glove with no web is also a very rare style. It is worn clear through to the palm. Imagine the thousands of innings this glove has been a part of. The relic of a true early baseball warrior. Full adult size and still supple. Its use should no be dismissed as abuse but more as love of the game.
