Where can you find a list of glove models and years for Rawlings baseball gloves?
Below I will leave a link to a guide to help date your vintage baseball gloves. Gloves can be dated by the style of the web. Styles may have continued to be made after the dates stated but in general the web can be dated to that era. Player endorsements can also be used to help date some gloves. I also have various Baseball Gloves made by Rawlings listed on the my website Keymancollectibles. I also have various Baseball Gloves made by Rawlings listed on the site including baseball Glove advertisements for different Rawlings models. Advertisements are a good way of dating your gloves. If you can't find what you are looking for browse through some old magazines that would have sports related content. If you need help you may contact me with more details of your glove.
Where are Rawlings baseball gloves made?
Some models are made in Washington, MO, but most of their gloves are made in China. Most models that are made in the USA use imported material. Don't buy into all the hype, Rawling makes a nice glove but it's far from the best.
Before the glove was invented what was used to catch the baseball?
people used their hands and often broke them before the glove was invented The players used their bare hands to catch or knock down the ball. The first players to use baseball gloves were often taunted and teased as being "too soft" or "sissies" because they did not want to catch the ball with their bare hands. The first baseball gloves were used in the 1870s. The basic idea was to create a glove that would pad and protect the players' hands and provide a cushion for catching the ball. Surprisingly, the first gloves were designed so the player could knock the ball to the ground and not necessarily catch it. History's first baseball gloves were made from pieces of leather sewn together to fit over a player's hand. Many early baseball gloves were simple leather gloves with the fingertips cut off, supposedly to allow for the same control of a bare hand, but with extra padding. The adoption of the baseball glove by baseball star Albert Spalding when he began playing first base influenced more infielders to begin using gloves. By the mid 1890s, it was the norm for players to wear gloves in the field. Below I will leave a link to a page about Vintage baseball equipment.
