Day 241 (August 28, 2020 – 241)
I really don’t collect Brooks Robinson endorsed gloves as a rule; for some reason don’t desire them, but there are exceptions to the self-imposed rule. On August 28, 1974 an individual walks into the Brooks Robinson’s Sporting Goods store on 122 S. Howard St. and purchases, with cash, a Rawlings Brooks Robinson XFCB-17 model glove along with a can of glovolium.
