re: Nostalgia: What Was Your First Baseball Glove?

We didn't have baseball till the third grade. I didn't know how to play it at all. They stuck me in right field. My glove was flat as a pancake. I don't know if I'd ever even tried catching anything in it. Line drive came to me and I stuck my glove up and missed it ten feet. Everybody was screaming and I threw the ball in and cried. Thanks for reminding me of that.

I ended up being a pretty good ball player. Always batted second or third and played first or third. But with a glove that was oiled (3 in 1 oil) and well used. Coached dixie youth 20 years. Helping my grandsons now, gonna be good ballplayers.
