Default early card w/player wearing batting glove
Posted By: Roy

Some reports that I read many years ago indicated that the first major leaguer to regularly wear a batting glove - one only - was Jackie Brandt of the Baltimore Orioles. He was considered something of a flake - not unlike Hawk Harrelson - so there may be something to the story.
