Questions for Jay:

 

Q.  Why did you choose this baseball glove and design?

A.   I felt that making the PRO442 a little more common would provide an opportunity for outfielders to have a few more choices, especially if you have a smaller hand or don’t require a glove as deep as a 303. Previous 442 models have been sneaky favorites of players and glove collectors, so bringing a Horween version of this pattern may be popular in a lot of ways.

 

Q.  How long have you been in interested in baseball and baseball gloves and back story of why?

A.  Since I was old enough to play the game, I’ve always been interested in baseball gloves. As a kid, our family couldn’t afford much in terms of equipment, and my twin brother and I would instead study gear by collecting baseball cards. I always vowed that when I got older, I would devote part of my time (turns out, a LOT of my time) to gathering as much substantive knowledge and expertise on gloves as possible and pass on what I learned to others. I am so thankful for the opportunities that social media has given me to connect with so many like-minded glove lovers over the past few years, it has really been one of the best experiences of my life. 

 

Q.  First baseball glove or glove memory?

A.  The first baseball glove I remember from my childhood was a Rawlings 11″ black basket web, an RGB90B, signed by everyone’s favorite player, Ken Griffey, Jr. It was purchased from a warehouse store in the 80s, and although my brother won the coin flip for it since could only afford one at the time, my parents were able to acquire one for me later that I cherished for many years.  

 

Q.  Favorite glove in collection that would never trade?

A.   I have a test model for a special charity glove I had made a few years ago constructed partially of real denim and handmade in St. Louis. The actual model raised $2,620 for the Sam Fuld T1D Sports Camp, and the test model will stay with me forever.

 

Q.  Any memory of buying from Ballgloves.com / Don Morton Sports in the past or favorite DMS model?

A.  Although there have been many, my absolute favorite DMS model was an 11.5″ PRO200-6 from 2013.
