Fellow Ballists, Has anyone seen this glove or perhaps use this glove. It looks ideal for 1880s catching and it is a Nokona so the quality should be good. I ...
I am using a 1930s, with the web cut. I looked at that one you used but was not sure of the quality of the leather. I have the Akadema fingerless glove for...

What time is the game scheduled to start? The Hartford Senators and Providence Gamehens have a game scheduled for that day but would like to be able to...
This is what we are using now. It was expensive but our catchers say it is worth every penny. Healthy hands and happy catchers are worth the price. The ring...

Dan, The team that wins the toss gets to choose to be visiting or home team. The home team must provide the balls for the game. That's the way we were...
Hey everyone, This is an absolutely insane dilemma I have and probably shouldn't even be attempting this but I feel kind of bad. I scheduled a speaking...
