I emailed this question to AMI, but haven't received a response yet. Maybe there's a legitimate explanation.
The description states:
1986 Ray Knight Game-Used Glove (from World Series)
There were plenty of Mets heroes in the 1986 World Series. Although most fans recall the Buckner error in Game 6, few remember that the Red Sox actually held a 3-0 lead going into the sixth inning before the Mets staged a comeback and, ultimately, a victory. (Game 7 was also a nailbiter, but the handwriting was on the wall.) Ray Knight, whose able work at third base and timely hitting, got the nod as the Series' MVP. After Game 7 (and as the celebration ensued), Knight tossed his glove, cap and a ball to a security guard. That officer gave the ball and cap to friends, but he kept the mitt. Now offered, directly from that long-time Mets security cop, is the glove Ray Knight used in the 1986 World Series. This gorgeous 11 3/4" tan Louisville Slugger 145 Series LeatherLite model G125-10LL glove shows tremendous use, suggesting it served duty through the regular season as well. It's fashioned with a single-post, Double T-Bar web, and a perforated leather back. An orange and black Louisville Slugger designator is sewn into the wrist strap and a circular logo appears near the thumb. "RAY KNIGHT" is embroidered on the thumb in blue. The glove shows consistent game use throughout, and this unique relic will serve to remind Mets devotees how thrilling that '86 World Series was.
100% Authentic/Denny Esken
The book "One Pitch Away" by Mike Sowell contains a chapter on Ray Knight. It begins:
"Sometimes, when he is having trouble sleeping because of his ongoing problem with kidney stones, Ray Knight will get out of bed at three o'clock in the morning and go to the trophy room in his house in Athens [sic], Georgia. There, he might open the trophy case that covers an entire wall of the room and take out the bat he used to hit the winning home run in Game 7 of the 1986 World Series. [Didn't Grey Flannel just auction this bat? Did Ray get rid of it after the book was written in 1995? But I digress].....Or he might take down the glove he used throughout that World Series, just to feel the familiar leather. 'I never used that glove again,' Knight tells visitors to the trophy room."
Hmmmmm.
