Hi guys,

I have these Gwynn g/u hit # 2990 batting gloves. He wore these on July 27 1999. I can't find any photos of a Gwynn at bat on this date. Any suggestions besides Google on how to find a photo? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Here's a couple from March/April of that year. Haven't seen any pics of him near the 7/27 date with those style gloves on:

You can try video sharing sites such as iHaveplanet.com. I've received multiple games from there and then was able to photo match items to the video. I hope this helps.

This picture is from his 2992 hit on August 01, 1999. The glove appears to be a different style.

Thanks for the photo. Yeah, Tony changed his gloves a lot and wore many different styles. He numbered every bat and most batting gloves when he got close to 3000 hits and never used the same one twice. He did this for marketing and resale since his wife and him sold some of his bats and gloves. You guys have done a great job of finding photos I could not find myself. I still can't seem to find any photos from July 27 1999 but you all are awesome and this community is awesome. I am a rookie to collecting but hope one days can give back to the community and help those how you take the time to help me. Thanks!
