The end of a glove

[etnstudios]

Watching Red Sox and Blue Jays and they are showcasing the glove that Tulo has used for 7 years has finally been retired this season. Anyone still have the pics of that thing?

Not sure if you saw but it was done in against the Rays.

I think there was a thread started on here. It's gotta be around somewhere. The interwebs lasts forever

^^^ Good article. I recall Juan Pierre being one of those players with the same glove for most of his career.

I remember when he was with the Dodgers the local cable network did a segment on his glove too.

I really liked Juan Pierre when he started as a Dodger, he was a gamer. Its great to see a pro stick with a glove, most guys are constantly breaking in new gamers as baseball takes a real toll on a glove.
I have a few senior team mates who have old gloves that wont let go of them, I think its great. Some of them are not really a good glove but you cant tell them that, LOL. Its really funny when I show them a glove I am breaking in, they put it on there hand and say its really stiff, then I take it out and game it.......
BYW Mizuno looks like a class act, one of the few big corporations that seem to get it.
