Description

The ultimate in fielders gloves! Spalding, one of the most popular mitts used today, introduces the Vintage Series. The Vintage Series gloves bring back the look and feel of baseball's classic era. Combining the best aspects of baseball's past and today's technology, Spalding has created a unique, ready-to-play glove. The special tanning process gives each glove buttery soft leather which is ready to use. Though soft and supple, the Spalding Vintage series gloves still hold their shape and form. This is very unusual for a glove that comes ready to play. The Vintage Series uses full grain leather lacing to enhance the composition and durability of the glove. This glove is made to feel like you've had it for years but has the strength and toughness of today's best. Using premium top grain leather, original patterns, markings and webs, this glove will not go unnoticed. Welcome back to the heritage of the game! Spalding: "True to the Game." Only the finest materials and craftsmanship is used to make these exceptional mitts. Free Shipping!

JACS

Pros: Love it! Very soft. Fits my hand. Arrived quickly. Doesn't need a lot of break in. Better feel to it than the gloves I tried on in a local sporting goods store--and a better price. Bought the glove care kit and am breaking it in as recommended. Haven't caught any balls with it yet (no one to throw to me) but when the snow is gone I'll go to the batting cage to catch some balls with it. In the mean time I hope to catch a foul ball with it when I travel to AZ for Spring Training.

Pros: Beautiful glove with deep pocket right out of the box. Seems to be really made and the padding is on par with all the modern gloves. Leather is supple and well oiled. Looks awesome and feels great on my hand. Very pleased.

Cons: None other than "ready to play" is a little misleading. You'll want to break it in for a bit before using it in a game.

About the Brand

Spalding was founded in 1876 by Boston Red Stockings pitcher A.G. Spalding. Spalding has been a leader of innovation and quality in sporting goods ever since. Spalding has been credited with developing the very first official baseball, basketball, golf ball and football.

A.G. Spalding was a very prominent and influential figure in baseball back in the early days of the game. He played for the Boston Red Stockings and in 1876 he left to play for the Chicago White Stockings, which would later become known as the Chicago Cubs. Spalding helped the White Stocking win the 1876 Inaugural National League Title. After the start of the following season Spalding retired from his playing days to become a full time businessman and team president for the White Stockings.

With an $800 loan from his mother Al Spalding opened up his own sporting goods company, which got its start by selling baseballs. Spalding’s baseballs became The Official Baseball of the National League, which gave him great advertising and exposure and people started to know Spalding Sporting Goods as quality products. As his company expanded Spalding started expanding into numerous outdoor activities and began developing golf clubs, tennis rackets, basketballs, and any other equipment needed for popular athletics at the time. Spalding sporting goods are now official products for many professional sports leagues and college conferences and amateur leagues.
