We just got this email in tonight, and it is a perfect example of why glove companies will pay certain players a lot of money to wear their gloves…
Hi,
Today is October 27, 2008. I was looking at your baseball mitts and I was wondering what mitt was Scott Kazmair from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays wearing in the World Series. I have also noticed Mike Mussina wearing it and Roy Halladay as well. Do you now what the name is and wear can I buy it on the net. Please respond ASAP my birthday is in 2 weeks want to have it by then!!!

Interesting article from the Worcester Telegram that discusses how Nokona has opened up a glove manufacturing operation in Worcester, MA.
In a joint venture with “Good Glove, LLC” (an investment group) and with the help of a $200,000 federal small business loan, the company has hired 17 employees and begun to manufacture gloves. Eventually the company could employ up to 50 employees and make 30,000 to 60,000 gloves per year.
Nokona currently manufactures a small portion of their gloves in Asia, but they will be moving these to the new Massachusetts plant and the original Texas manufacturing facility.

Just saw this article that the inventor of the Rawlings Gold Glove Award died last month. Since 1957 the award has been given to the top 18 players by position (9 per league)
Mr. Blasco dreamed up the idea in 1956 and sold the concept to Rawlings executives. The first awards were made in 1957.
“He said it would be fitting to develop an award for defense,” his son, Mark, said. “He conceived the idea and called it the Gold Glove Award.”
