I think we spoke once. You had a hinske nike correct?

It was a Hinske Wilson's first baseman mitt.

Very nice! I collect Devil Rays. I bought the Abbott glove cause we went to the same high school.

I have a bunch of store model gloves that I bought, just because they are cool....

Most gloves without dates were made by Bob and Bob could do whatever he wants when making pro gloves. Any stamping, variations, or patches were fair game. pretty cool stuff. (my favorite is the mcgwire)

Bob at work!

And a nice little bonus of a great example of anything goes.
That tan Biggio is cool because its got the post 2001 stamp with the oval R in the rawlings word mark - with the updated made in the usa stamp. Pretty cool!

Re: Rawlings Patch Logos

I've had well over 100 in and out over the past year... im just more of a rare model guy than gamer guy... but as that has its own separate forum, thats why i shared those pics Really fun hobby, just as game worn jerseys is.

Re: Rawlings Patch Logos

Some of my favorite game useds and game issued from over the years.
If anyone ever needs help, my IG handle is on one of the pics. Tons of gloves, jerseys, and sports pics.

Any who, here are some weird combos. Some have dates, some dont, some have the nickle logo and in somecases even years after they stopped being put on their retail gloves.

Re: Rawlings Patch Logos

Thanks!

Here are the rest of my gloves. Currently have 21 with number 22 on the way.

A 2004 Ryan Baty glove used with the Single A Devil Rays affiliate, with team letter. The only glove I have that is not embroidered.

Re: Rawlings Patch Logos

LOVE IT!!!! Nice Collection!!!
I often find some of the cooler gloves I've had are from scrums!!
Right now I have a Mike Caruso 1998 pro-200-1 black 11.5 single post that is from right after the change. The pro-200 has become a VERY popluar pattern, but back then was in its infancy and was most common as a 200hc. This is the only black and single post one i've seen.
I had a Jason Grimsley that was marked as a gold glove, and had the old logos but was not a USA and felt like a HOH. It was REALLY unique.
I also had a scott livingstone pro1000hb that didnt have a palm crease that was just an amazing version of the popluar pro1000 series. SUPER stiff thumb and pinkie as im sure bob must have put the equivalent to chopsticks in them lol.
I find that the best way to get older usa 90s gloves in great shape is the pro issued ones of no namers. The name deters some guys but I dont care a bit. Its funny how glove guys are more about the model than who used it as well as condition.
GU guys want it to be trashed and are all about the name.... polar opposites in that regard.

Re: Rawlings Patch Logos

The Lamb has three dots for 1998. I bought the glove from former Devil Rays coach Greg Riddock's son. He said Lamb gave it to his dad in 1998. The Trammell and Kelly do not have a date code. Mike Kelly told me he used it while in Tampa Bay, I bought the glove directly from Mike Kelly.

The second pic has gloves dated 2001 and later.

Re: Rawlings Patch Logos

Looking at my Rawlings Gloves, I would guess, that in 2000 or 2001 they switched to the oval R from the round R.

All of my gloves from 1999 or before have the round R. Everything 2001 and later have the oval.


I will post pics later on.
