I know I have featured this card on my blog before, but now it has some friends.
The first card featuring a big glove is one I think most of us are familiar with and that is the 1986 Fleer Mickey Hatcher card.
As far as I can tell, another big glove did not show up on another baseball card for 5 years when pitcher Juan Guzman was captured with a big glove, presumably during a spring training stretching session.
2004 would bring us two different big glove cards. The glove on this 2004 Upper Deck Joe Randa card is big, but not as big as the gloves featured on the Hatcher and Guzman cards.
This 2004 Topps Jason Michaels card though, may feature the same glove that Guzman had, although the colors are slightly off, but they very similar.
dustin pedroia is wearing one on a recent stadium club card - the one he is wearing has a bunch of autographs on it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. It is now on my radar.
Delete2018 Stadium Club #187 - I don't know is these other guys were short like Pedroia, but his small stature makes the glove look gigantic!
DeleteSweet collection. Sorry... can't think of any others. But I want one of these gloves so bad for my classroom.
