Except for a little catchers mitt I bought when I was 5, my first good glove which served me through little league, pony league, and High School baseball was a Warren Spahn.

I picked it out at the Western Auto in DeFuniak Springs, FL. Tho Spahn was a left hander, my glove was for a right handed player.

I think one of my Nephews eventually stole it.

He won 363 games and lost 3 full seasons to WWII, where he was a combat engineer who saw action in the Battle of the bulge and awarded the Purple Heart. Not much more needs to be said.

Marichal was no slouch either. He was as tough as they came in his day. There’s a reason he’s in the Hall of Fame as well.
