Game Model vs. Game Issued Fielder's Gloves

Re: Game Model vs. Game Issued Fielder's Gloves

I know that ebay seller bought that glove from Clevenhagen. Whether Lofton ever had the glove in his possesion I don't know.

Can anyone help me out here? I have not been able to find Denny Esken's contact information, nor do I know much about Clevenhagen. Any help you can provide on how to tell game-issued gloves from game-model gloves would be greatly appreciated.

Rob,

I apologize if my posting led another member to post unauthorized contact information for Denny Esken; I'm not in a place where I can make a prolonged phone call, so I didn't get the number off the GUU site anyway. Denny, since apparently you do read this board, can you contact me at lazukor@gmail.com? I would love to set up a time to chat about game used vs. game issued vs. game model. Thanks for your help, and I am sorry if I have caused anyone to unethically post private information.

I am sorry if I created a stir by sharing the number I did not realize it was his personal number.. I apologize Denny for sharing the number if in fact it was a personal number rather than a business number...

Re: Game Model vs. Game Issued Fielder's Gloves

I talked with Denny Esken, and he was very helpful in answering my questions. Here is what he said:

Game model = The glove that is the same as the players use but is never given to them for use. Such a glove is ordered often by agents or Steiner for signings.

Game issued = A glove that is made to the player's specifications and given to him for use. However, it was never used in a game.

Game model gloves are not simply retail gloves. You cannot just walk into a sporting goods store and pick out or order a glove with a player's name on it; it has to be special ordered from a player's agent.

I hope this explanation clarifies things.
