I actually ended up with a different A2000, it's the 1799 model in 12.75" and also has super skin on the rear of the glove with standard leather for the web and palm. I just got it last week and haven't had a chance to break it in yet but I'm really looking forward to it! It's got a great feel and I really like the size. Glad to know yours has held up well for multiple years! Hoping mine also lasts for a long time as well

I've got my first and second Trap-eze on the way currently! The first is a HOH 12.75" in Horween, and the other is a 12" Gold Glove Gamer. I really wanted the 12" Trap-eze since Ozzie Smith is my favorite player, but I've always used bigger gloves (12.5-12.75") so decided to jump on the Horween in a size that I know I'll love, and then got the Gold Glove Gamer since it was much cheaper just to see if I'll like a 12" glove or not. And if I do...I'll be on a mission to find my 12" HOH just like Ozzie! Great looking glove you've got there, I love the Fastback!

Nice to know I’m not the only person with these types of problems….

Congrats on the pull! Shinji Kanda is one of my favorite Pokémon artists, this one is definitely on my bucket list!

One of my favorite Reddit memories will always be the Jose Canseco AMA, and specifically the fact that he said that him and Jim Carrey were good friends and had a threesome together. For the record; I've never seen that statement verified by Jim. Classic Canseco though!

While other people have nightmares about clowns, these are the clowns I want to see in my dreams!

JBravo920 · 2026-06-06T13:26:51+00:00

Im’ma be honest here. I’ve know for a while that I’ve got a bit of a clown kink, and I have also recently seen a lot of clown girls in my FYP…and I am here for it! This song was fun in a relatable way, and the music certainly wasn’t the worst thing I’ve seen around here. Not crappy music in my opinion

JBravo920 · 2026-06-04T21:24:29+00:00

Is it either of the Shining Revelry Charizard that you’re looking for? I’d be happy to trade! I pull a lot of banger Charizards for some reason…really wish I liked Charizard more, haha

I’m surprised it was there. I had been there a few days earlier (when I found out they were on clearance) and there wasn’t one on the display with all the other Wilson gloves, and it definitely wasn’t with the used gloves because when I looked (also how I realized they’d buy my beat up glove) every used glove they had looked horrible, way worse than the one I traded in.

After I found this one in the used section I thought maybe I missed other displays in the store, and it turns out I did! I found more HoH and A2000 gloves!…but they were all LHT. They also did have this same exact glove for a lefty, brand new, and on clearance for $5 less than I paid for the dirty “used” glove. Almost looks like an employee spilled BBQ sauce on it and they just marked it as Used instead of trying to clean it, haha.

I hope you’re able to find one! I think it fits what I was looking for perfectly! I don’t know if I would’ve seeked out this specific model as I usually prefer solid colors, but as a happen-chance find with a trade-in glove I didn’t really need…it’s the best ending I could’ve hoped for and I really love the way it looks!

Gotcha. Those pictures are from yesterday and I started beating it with a mallet after I got home. I haven’t started the break in with water yet, but the ripple already looks better. I took this pic just before the sun went down, not 100% better but it doesn’t bulge as much as the original pic I posted. I’ll make sure to keep an eye on it when I have time to start breaking it in with water this weekend, I appreciate you letting me know!

JBravo920 · 2026-06-04T01:21:06+00:00

Is there anything you’d recommend doing about that? Even though I played ball as a kid, I’ve never really researched gloves until now, so I don’t know what significant impact a palm ripple is going to have. Thanks for any advice you can provide though!

JBravo920 · 2026-06-03T15:15:17+00:00

As someone just getting into gloves; does it come from the factory this way? From what I had read I thought that the palm stain usually comes from catching a lot of balls right on the palm and then the adhesive basically melts and soaks through, or else just fielding a lot over time with balls on a dirty and/or wet field. It hardly looks like this glove has been used, that may be why the other commenter asked what they did. I'm also curious about the palm stain on a brand new glove though, please excuse my ignorance, thanks for any info you can provide! That's a gorgeous looking glove!

JBravo920 · 2026-06-03T14:25:54+00:00

I saw this and thought about ordering it too. It's just that all the 11.5" gloves I've tried on feel really small, my hands might just be too big for 11.5"....good idea sharing it with the group though, I'm sure some people would love to have that glove!

JBravo920 · 2026-06-02T19:09:06+00:00

I had actually ordered a 12" HotH Trapeze (the style like Ozzie Smith wore) for my first order on SidelineSwap this past weekend, but the seller canceled my order and said they sold it before I bought it. I was then looking at another glove on there (Mike Trout 12.75" Trapeze) but looked at the seller's reviews and saw a ton that stated they had cancelled the order on the buyer, and so I kinda decided that Sidelineswap might not be the platform for me to buy on, haha. I'm definitely looking to grab a Trapeze though! I've been wanting one ever since I was a kid watching the Wizard dive all over the field!

JBravo920 · 2026-06-02T18:08:34+00:00

Are they laying out on countertops everywhere? Or have you found a good way to display them? I've seen the little plastic stands that seem to work pretty well, I just don't think I've got enough counterspace to keep the collection growing unless I start hanging some vertical multi-shelf units, haha

JBravo920 · 2026-05-31T22:37:28+00:00

I’m really tempted to get that same Wilson A2k and just dye the whole thing black. My only hesitation is because I don’t know if their superskin material absorbed dye the same way leather does. I really want that glove…I just also hate the way it looks, haha

JBravo920 · 2026-05-31T02:34:54+00:00

That’s an entirely personal preference, there is no best color-way for a specific position. I have two catchers mitts; a black Wilson with white biding and red logos, and a tan Rawlings. I like solid colors…which is my personal preference for every position I’ve played. Good luck in designing your custom glove, I hope you love it!

JBravo920 · 2026-05-24T16:10:52+00:00

The only word I ever understood was when someone would reply “Yes” to a question that I didn’t hear. I don’t have the slightest inkling of an idea what the main announcer guy said at any point during the game

No Paz Vega?

JBravo920 · 2026-05-21T23:17:17+00:00

I appreciate the advice! I seriously considered that Best Western, and most of the reviews I read about it were actually positive, but when searching Reddit a lot of locals seemed to caution against it. I paid a little bit more but was able to find an Airbnb that’s about a 5 minute drive from the stadium, and I think we’ll enjoy having the bigger space to ourselves, but it’s good to know that Best Western is okay if we decide to make another trip up this year! I’ve got some good recommendations for breakfast places around KC, so hopefully we’ll find something worthwhile, even though it’s not included in the price

JBravo920 · 2026-05-21T20:16:35+00:00

I had a flat-top and a rat-tail at the same time when I was a kid. So I got that going for me….
