I saw that car dealer as well, I sent them an email with no response as of yet. The home page states that the owner of that dealer has been selling cars in his hometown since 1975. The Bob Patterson that was a teammate of Graces was born in Jacksonville, FL and raised in Greenville, SC.

THANKS!!!

5K - No worries!!!

I think he lives in NC now. Bob and I were pals when he was a Cub in the mid-1990s. Interestingly, his nickname was "Dr. Glove", as he was an expert on repairing baseball gloves. Teammates and even opponents would ask him to work his wonders on their damaged fielding mitts.

BTW, I am friends with the guy who won that Mark Grace glove. He showed me the glove right after he won it, and we chatted about it briefly. If you send an email to lazukor@gmail.com, I will give you the guy's contact information. Don't know if he wants to sell it.

I also know the owner of the glove and I have seen the glove in person. He lives in Denver. It is absolutely incredible- loads and loads of pine tar- it must have been used for a season or two.

Thanks to everyone for the help...especially Leslie. I have contacted teh owner and he has no plans on selling it at this point in time. Look forward to seeing some pics of it, as it sounds pretty sweet.
