I found this photo from the 2002 All Star game. Can't tell but it looks like he used a different glove for the All Star game.

Looks like he maybe had a tough game, too.

Looks like it. What wording do you think it says on the glove? It is blurred.

I'm fairly certain it says "E-4"


On a serious note, could it be "EASTON"? That's a real stretch, as I can't make it out either.

LMAO. Yes, E4. Seems he did change gloves in 2004. The stitching looks to be on the wrong location vs the one for sale but it is interesting.

Of course, Steve, his gloves now read "E7"

sometime the glove reads "A7" :P and more frequently "PO7"

Andrew,

you're right, it's very blurry, but what it does look like is A. Soriano on the pinky rather than "El Monstruo". As you can guess, I poured through every picture I could find as I had definite interest in the glove. I have seen pics of Sori using a Mizuno with "El Monstruo" on the pinky, but they were from 2004-2005. The difference in the ebay glove, and the picture of Sori using a similar glove with the Rangers is the oval stamp with Made in Japan having gold print, and the ebay glove not having it in gold. see pics below.....

Mark - So the gold stamped Made in Japan on this glove is embossed in the leather with no gold. Good observation!

Heres a photo of a glove with the El Monstruo embossed on the other index finger panel (the top instead of bottom panel). I dont see the gold on the made from japan trademark either
