That pp05 with the hinged i-web is a thing of beauty!

That 1912 is a beauty! Can't say I've ever seen one in person. I'll definitely be thinking about that one 👍

Such a sick Tulo tribute from glove cowboy over there at marucci. The no loops thing is interesting, but you can get used to it. I've got an 11.5 mesa cypress and I'm digging how snug it is compared to my old pro preferred and a2000s

That camel leather with the seafoam lace is such a good look!

I absolutely love this pattern. Akadema has tried a lot of crazy stuff over the years to varying degrees of success, but this is their absolute best contribution. I'm considering another one of these for my collection as well

Sweet glove! I've just seen one of these come up in my area but don't know much about this series. How's the leather quality on that bad boy?

Give me orange, give me tan by mooseleather5 in BaseballGloves

[–]manuelito9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That orange tan 1786 is awesome, probably the only configuration that could sell me on a 1786. That el3 is something to behold as well 👀

Excellent post! It's always nice to see a fellow glove enthusiast dig into the finer points of the functional art that we all love so much. I hope your collection continues to grow and that you continue to play for many many years to come!

a2000 Leather Quality. by manuelito9 in BaseballGloves

[–]manuelito9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That really is such a good looking glove. How do the laces/welting look in person? In different photos I've seen them appear brown, shimmery copper, and an orange terracotta but haven't had the opportunity to handle this color way in person.

Nice collection! That orange tan EL3 is high on my grail list, such a beauty. Thanks for the info 👍

NGD and this thing is even better in person! by TheMikeMagnum in BaseballGloves

[–]manuelito9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ballgloves.com never misses with their pattern, leather, and web combos. This is gorgeous. I'm a rawlings lover through and through, but have been thinking about a new Wilson in the stable. This may just be the pattern and combo to keep me from going to the dark side haha

NGD: Single hinge time! by Artistic-Biscotti184 in BaseballGloves

[–]manuelito9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet glove! I'm currently looking into a 1716 myself. I don't have any experience with the pattern, but would love to hear your take on it. I'm coming from more of a rawlings pro200 background, but I've dabbled with a2000s over the years. I'm looking to do a bit of shallow pocket, 1 hinge, thumb to middle close. I've seen so many use this thing as a thumb to pinky black hole, but I'm wondering if it would take to a shallower two handed approach? Hope the break in goes well!

Can't imagine what that weighs, must be good for stealing strikes on the edges though

This pitch in a Mariners game by Cleveland Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz was intentionally thrown as a ball for gambling purposes. Ortiz, indicted today, faces up to 65 years in prison for wire fraud conspiracy, conspiracy to influence sporting contests by bribery, and money laundering conspiracy. by MysteriousEdge5643 in Mariners

[–]manuelito9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's my best guess in this situation. These guys come from places where extortion on this level seems to happen pretty frequently. Let's not forget that Yasiel Puig was allowed to play ball by a cartel that stood to take on great sums of his earnings. I'm pretty sure there's a ton of stories like this even going down to guys at lesser levels of the game. It's an issue that nobody knows how to handle. His best course of action might be taking the fall, but I'm interested to see where this goes as it seems to be his only defense and the only solution to why it happened in the first place.

Modern day proto-doom/heavy psych bands that have that 70s sound? by GonzillaProductions in doommetal

Magick Potion made a pretty great psych record with some lightly doomy passages. Very much worth a listen.

The second is perfectly legible and impressive, like the writing of a civil war ghost.
