Recent Finds
My wife and I went to the Sun-Times Sports show last night in Rosemont, IL. There were a fair amount of dealers and I was surprised to find some nice gloves. Attached are pics of two I got really reasonable - the D&M is an Earl Clark - very high quality. I can't find this in Joe's Glove Catalog source book. Must be from early to mid 1930's. Second is a Great Western Co. glove endorsed by Alex "Al" Sparra. My internet search has turned up that he played for the Washington Senators but that is all I found - no year, stats, etc. If anyone knows more about him, please let me know. Thanks

Brett, nice gloves. I've never heard of Alex Sparra, but he didn't play in the Major leagues. He's not listed in the baseball encyclopedia. Perhaps he was a minor leaguer in their system that just never got the call.

On a side note, how was the show?
