Nice slideshow Bretman.
Slides 12 and 19 were my favorites. I started with a George A. Reach catcher's mitt in the early 70's and in 1979 my dad bought me a Mizuno World Win (CE-5 I think) catcher's mitt. I still have the Mizuno.
I was hoping to see my 1969 Spalding Tug McGraw glove but I guess that model wasn't very popular....lol. My brother had the Spalding Carl Yaz model. I liked his glove better than mine.
There was a kid on my team when I was about 8 or 9 that had a Montgomery Ward glove. I wanted that glove because it had the coolest web I ever saw.
I also knew a couple of kids that had Sears Ted Williams signature models.
Ahh.....good times......good times......
