Thanks guys for the compliments. The glove is real, but the bat is just a Reese model college bat. I didn't want to use a real bat since to frame it they had to drill two pin size holes in it to mount it. To mount the glove and ball they just sew into the seam that way it doesn't hurt those items.

Tom, that photo is one of my favorite items that I have. I purchased it about 5-6 years ago from a Mastro auction and as far as I know that is the only photo to exist as it supposedly came straight from the original photographer. It was taken during spring training in Havana, Cuba in 1942.
