This was devastating. I've had the same baseball glove for over 25 years. I love my glove. But over the weekend, she finally gave out. Black Beauty. I have been using it a ton over the past few years. I play softball and I've been coaching Jack's little league teams, so its gotten a lot of use. But this weekend, she finally started to fall apart. I could probably fix it, but I decided it was time. Time to move on and get a new one. So the bottom picture if the new glove. She is nice. We will see if she can live up to the legacy of Black Beauty. It will be tough. Good bye old friend...we had some good times together.(cue Boyz II Men "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday")
