FungoHighly Regarded and Beloved Old Timer

TPM,
A nice story. Thanks for sharing it. Does Dave still have and treasure the old glove? I don't think catchers look at their gloves in the same manner as a position player or a pitcher. It is more of a tool or just a piece of necessary equipment. A new catcher’s mitt is a pain until it gets broken in and an old catcher’s mitt dies very quickly. A catcher’s mitt has a short “peak” life. My son goes through at least two and sometimes three a year. While he appreciates the protection afforded by all the catching equipment, I have only heard him comment about one....He thanked the “cup” on more than one occasion.
