Gloves of Dreams

7-15-2009
While visiting my parents over Christmas, I stumbled upon a closet full of old baseball equipment that I probably hadn’t used (or seen) in a decade. After a great game of catch with my dad, I asked if I could take the glove back with me. His response: No, it was my brother’s. (Truth be told, I think he just wanted to hold on to it so I’d come home for another toss.) Still, I wanted one of my own. Whether you’re joining the company softball team or just wanting to make some baseball memories with your son, these six mitts cover all the bases.
