This is fantastic! Coolest thing i have seen in ages. Thanks for sharing this with all of us Domer! You guys give a lot of free great free stuff and i do appreciate it. I will be a subscriber after the new year. Anyhow i love this idea and will participate. Our guys deserve this most American luxury of throwing and catching a baseball. I remember those times well throwing a baseball or a football even, forgetting about your job for a little while and remembering home. This idea and ball player are special. I am curious if the gloves have to be virgin or can they be used? I have a few gloves in good shape and a brand new ball or two in closet. This idea needs to go to facebook now. cool biggrin cool

GO CARDS!

Used gloves are absolutely welcome. (They are already broken in!) In fact, I am planning a trip to hit the area Goodwill, Salvation Armys, thrift marts, etc. to collect as much used leather as I can find.

Looks like MLB.com has just picked up this story. This should be in the Cards top 20 stories of 2012 since the idea came to fruition this year.

The Cardinals are getting behind the initiative with bins to collect baseball gloves at Winter Warm-Up. Please participate if you can.

Great to see this story on ESPN. I wonder if they will have any problem accumalating enough left handed gloves? I am going to purchase a glove and was thinking is should be a left handers infield mitt.

I received this email tonight...

Hello Everybody,

I want to tell everybody that the goal of sending 1,000 baseball gloves to U.S. Troops has been achieved.  Please check out www.gloves4troops.com if you get a chance to see some photos of the three month project.  Thank you everybody for your unbelievable support and donations.  Time to play some ball!!

Don't you mean give him a "glove", Bling? Of course this is not the case, but what if this nice fellow Albitz was in fact a glovedamaniac and would stop at nothing in his quest to horde baseball gloves? A year from now Selig's security team raids this fellow's home and they find like 3000 gloves.
