I always thought it became the 24 after the signed Griffey and he started to use that as his gamer and they made it into a pro model, but I could be wrong

Yeah, you are right. I'm just trying to find out when the started producing the TB with tan lace. And Secondly, when they added the "24" to the TB and made it his model.

Well Griffey was drafted in 1989, and it looks like he was using it as early as that

Yeah so looks like 88-89 is when it started getting tan

I've got a '94 that I have always been curious about. The lace wrapping around the binding of the web is two tone; black outside and grey in, its some decent stiff lace. The lace on the rest of the glove is a solid core black, decent but softer. I had always wonder which if either was the og lace. Now it looks like I have my answer... neither.
Fred what was the year of that TB you just relaced and what were the laces on it like; were they the og if so what color were they, solid or two tone?
BTW that relace looked great Fred.

The one I just relaced is a 1995, and it had two- tone black and grey lace. Good lace, just dry rotted. Mine has the black palm, feels like horween. I see yours is the deerskin liner, def older. Didn't realize it was only 1 year older. Nice glove.

So do you think the two tone black was the og lace on your '95?
Yup your correct and I'm jealous Fred I would like to get my hands on one with the full Horween treatment.

Dang, good eye rous. Its a good hypothesis but my TB24 5 dot, yr 2000, that is stamped 13" has the dual hinge just like my '94 TB. Idk if the rarity of the 13" 24 necessarily disproves that theory or not.

I just Googled "Rawlings PRO-TB images" and of all the pics, when i saw that one I knew I had to use it. I love the Vaseline sheen.
