The Nokona Bloodline gloves are Nokona’s flagship line of gloves
I like old things. My grandfather says that’s why I come to visit him so often. However, this is not true. I like to visit him because he tells me all kinds of stories. He has lived through incredible times and tells a good story. The History Channel should hire him. We have recently become interested in vintage baseball gloves. I brought my laptop and we spent the afternoon researching vintage baseball gloves. It was so much fun. Also, I got to teach my grandfather a little about computers and the internet.
We looked at sites that sold vintage baseball gloves and couldn’t believe all of them that were out there. The market for vintage baseball gloves is alive and well. Rawlings’ glove was the most accessible. This made sense since Rawlings’ glove is the official MLB glove, but Spaulding was. I saw quite a few of the Rawlings gloves that I would like to buy, but they were a little too expensive for me. I liked all the baseball gloves but not the prices.
My grandfather, however, was not so impressed. He said that if you want to talk about vintage baseball gloves, then you should look at Nokona gloves. I found out that Nokona is a company that has been making baseball gloves since 1934. They used to do other things but when the Great Depression hit they started making baseball gloves. Nokona gloves come with a long tradition of quality. My grandfather said that when he played little league baseball, the only baseball gloves he used were Nokona gloves. That made these baseball gloves good enough for me.
He went and got his old baseball glove from the attic. It was the greatest baseball glove ever. I couldn’t believe he kept his old baseball glove all these years. We spent a lot of time reminiscing about his minor league baseball days. He played for many years. Then we talked about him coming to watch me play baseball when I was a kid. I forgot he bought me my first glove.
The glove he bought me was a Nokona glove. We went to the store and chose it. I showed him online all the places you can get the Nokona glove now. He couldn’t believe all the baseball gloves there. He asked me if I still had my Wilson a2000 glove. I told him I thought I kept it in the closet somewhere. I’m surprised he hadn’t bought me the Wilson a2000 baseball glove after all his praise for the Nokona ones. He said he wouldn’t look at another glove since seeing the Wilson a2000 glove. I didn’t remember that. My grandfather has a great memory.
Had a great time with my grandpa that day as always. Looking at the vintage baseball gloves brought back a flood of memories from his and my youth. I’m so glad to have someone like him in my life. My wife and I are expecting a baby in the fall, and I can’t wait for the baby to meet their great-grandfather. I’m sure, girl or boy, he and I will be able to pass our love of baseball on to the baby. Having multiple generations in the family is a special thing.
