I like the leather re-enforcement on the toe of the cleat (where Vandy's foot would push off the rubber). But even better is the apparent "tipped finger" glove. I was aware of very early gloves like this from the 1800s, but don't think I've ever seen a 1940s tipped finger model.

Hoping one of the glove guys can shed some light on what maker/model of glove this might be...

The finger tips on Vandy's glove are actually seams that were placed along the knuckles to give the fingers of the glove more of a natural curvature. They're not actually capped like a 19th century catcher's glove would be. By the looks of it, he's probably wearing a glove made by Spalding or one of its sub-brands.

Thanks William... very interesting about the curvature.

From the photo, it looks like the leather is darker above those seams (towards the finger tips), making them appear "capped". Guess it's just an illusion.

I'm sure that Graig appreciates this unnecessary over-analysis. Probably making him uneasy about painting this one... sorry!

Last night I picked up 11 signed baseball magazines in a large ebay auction. None of them were vintage although some were 1950's and 60's, and all but one were Yankees themed, but the one that wasn't was one I've been looking for the last 7 years. A nicely signed 1973 Sporting News signed by Catfish Hunter, Vida Blue, and Ken Holtzman. I've only seen one other and it had some really bad sigs on them (think CC), so I'm really jazzed!!

Congrats Mike, that's very cool, seven years worth...I'd frame it or encapsulate it or something...that newspaper stock is especially subject to deterioration...but what ever you do enjoy it..and in my opinion display it for everyone to appreciate....What's Catfish Hunter doing these days?

Scott

That is AWESOME that you are getting that photo made into a painting. I am excited to see the finished product, it is a great image that really seems to capture Depression era baseball in all aspects!

Mike,

Great pickup! Ken Holtzman has really become a non-signer over the last decade, BTW.
Congrats!
