Goodwill find! Need help from vintage baseball collectors!

Just an FYI about 'mitts' and 'gloves' that can help with dating...

The 'web' in gloves wasn't introduced until the late 20's when it's design was given to Rawlings by the last 'legal' spitballer in MLB - 'Spittin' Bill Doak.

Bill Doak model gloves are almost considered a 'must have' if you are a glove collector.

Ken

Actually Ken (as I have read it and been told) - Bill Doak left baseball before Burleigh, and they outlawed the spitball, but he made a short return a few years later and because he had previously pitched in the spitball era, he was 'grandfathered' in...

I will do some research and let you know what I find out.
