These are the best archival card pages I have ever seen, & I have been collecting since 1975.

From the beginning of spring through the summer playing season someone is always dropping a baseball glove off at "The Doctor's" house to get a little baseball glove repair done on their glove. Most of these repairs are usually the same...broken laces in one or more places on the glove. Every time I repair one of these gloves I'm always thinking the same thing, "If this guy would have taken just a little bit of care of this glove..." You don't have to go nuts with caring for the glove, but every little bit helps.

You see, by the time I get these baseball gloves they are, by definition, neglected! Here's what I usually see:

• They are usually dirty. Dirt is not so bad, though, because dirt is part of what the glove is going to see anyway. Dirt can always be cleaned off. It's the caked on, dried up mud that is in the seams and lace holes that should have been wiped off and cleaned out at some point by the owner. This usually never happens from what I see.
• The leather and laces on these baseball gloves are usually very dry. This is usually the most common problem with gloves because leather and laces in dry, stiff condition will lead to broken laces and ripped leather. Many gloves, especially those in the northern areas of the country, will experience rain, snow, mud and sun all in the same High School baseball season. Conditions like these are especially bad for the leather and laces on gloves.
• The laces of any glove become stretched and broken in over time. What owners should do is keep an eye on their baseball glove laces and tighten them up as they become loose. Loose, stretched laces are easy to see when the fingers of the glove start getting bigger and bigger gaps in between them as the laces stretch and become broken in. The thing is, though, these gaps shouldn't be there...this is not the normal intended shape of the glove when it was designed. Very loose laces result in the glove taking on a different shape as time goes by and again, this is not the initially designed shape when the glove was bought. Very large gaps can actually be dangerous as hard line drives can sometimes get through one of these gaps and can injure the player.

Nearly all of the baseball gloves that I repair and restore have all, or nearly all of the conditions mentioned above. I seem to do the same things over and over...Clean, Repair and Condition...Clean, Repair and Condition.

When I'm done doing a little baseball glove repair and restore to a glove that has just broken, it always turns out looking and feeling better than even I expected. The owners are always amazed at how the glove looks and of course, they are very happy with their "new" glove.

As I said earlier, the gloves that I repair are neglected as far as routine, general maintenance. They are dirty, dry, stiff and cracked. These gloves are just waiting for broken laces and ripped leather. Remember, all that you have to do is just do a little cleaning, conditioning and lace tightening every once in a while as you use your glove throughout the season and your glove will keep its original intended shape and you won't have those unfortunate lace breaks just when you can't afford to have them.

The best thing is to learn how to do a little baseball glove repair yourself so that when breaks do occur, you can fix them in as little as 10 or 15 minutes for a few bucks instead of sending your baseball glove away for a number of days and $50 later. But that's a whole new subject. For now, just take care of your glove as you are using it during the season. Believe me, every little bit helps!

Customer Review: great price great jacket
I ordered this jacket for my mother-in-laws 80th birthday and I am so pleased with it I have ordered one for myself. The sizing does run small so order the next size up from your normal size. I am 5ft8in and not a small woman by any stretch. The X-Large fits me well , but you need to understand that the jacket is short wasted and falls just above the hips. For the price you are getting a whole lot of bang for your buck.
Customer Review: Doesn't Fit Right
I loved this jacket online and I got it just in time to wear to the World Series, game 4. Problem was, it didn't fit. The length was very short, so whenever I raised my arms, my midriff was exposed. Also the sleeves were just barely to my wrists. I had ordered a Medium, which was sized 8-10. I am only a 4-6 and yet the jacket was still too small. Sadly, I had to return it and never had a jacket to wear to the game.

Born June 19, 1903 in New York City son of German Immigrants, Lou Gehrig would become one of the greatest players to ever play the game of baseball. Lou was one of four children to survive. Struggling to make ends meet Lou's parents worked a number of jobs and were adamant on Lou's education. Lou earned a football scholarship to Columbia but before his first semester began, New York Giants manager John McGraw advised him to play summer professional baseball.

Lou was signed to the Yankees in 1923 with a $1500 bonus. While holding the record for most consecutive game streak of 2130 games (a record that stood until Cal Ripken, Jr. broke it in 1995). Lou played with 17 different fractures on his hands that healed naturally while he continued to play. He played well despite many injuries. His endurance and strength earned him the nickname "Iron Horse."

The dead ball era belonged to Ruth and Gehrig who dominated baseball with their unbelievable ability to hit home runs; the Yankees were in a league of their own. Gehrig spent his whole career in New York the nation's media capital. Gehrig was once asked about playing in Ruth's shadow and he answered "It's a pretty big shadow; it gives me lots of room to spread myself." Ruth and Gehrig's relationship fell apart when Gehrig's mother criticized the way Ruth's daughter dressed. Ruth got word and did not speak to Gehrig until "Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day" six years later.

Lou continued to dominate baseball until 1938 when he began to lose strength and batting average fell below .300. During this period, Lou was struggling to make hits and getting on base. Lou's consecutive game streak ended in 1939 when he voluntarily took himself out of the game. Doctors later diagnosed Lou with a rare disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) which is now known as The Lou Gehrig's Disease. He would never play baseball again.

On July 4, 1939 sportswriter Paul Gallico suggested recognition day for Lou Gehrig. With over 62,000 fans in attendance Lou Gehrig stood in Yankee Stadium holding back tears and called himself "the luckiest man on the face of the earth. It was one of the most emotional moments in sports history. At the end of his speech Babe Ruth walked over and put his arms around him and spoke in his ears the first words they had spoken since 1934. Gehrig was elected in the baseball hall of that same year. Lou Gehrig passed away on June 2, 1941. Lou Gehrig is remembered as one of the most spectacular players of all time.
