Mike Schmidt. Rawlings GJ45 with Bellows Web and Edge-U-Cated heel. Bought it with my own money, about '77. Played years of fast-pitch softball with it, then lost it one day at the Little League field with my kids, still ticks me off. We had a REALLY old three-finger looking glove my Dad said was a first baseman's mitt, we referred to it as the Ed Whitehall model, some old dude my Grandpa used to talk about... Edit: I just looked on Baseball Reference, I'll bet it was Earl Whitehill, Tigers pitcher from the 20-30s |

Loved him, but the first bat I remember being able to handle was a Willie Wilson model. Or maybe I just tried to slap hit like him. |

My first glove was Roger Clemmons. My second glove was Dwight Gooden. Steroid guy and a Cocaine guy. I guess that was a bad omen for me. Never got a 3rd glove. I used the Dwight Gooden from the age of 10 until my 1st year in high school. I was on the Freshmen B team. That's the year I learned that I officially sucked and never played organized baseball again. Moment of silence for my baseball career. Thank you. But I still use the Dwight Gooden when I play catch with my nephews. |

Rawlings "Deep Well Pocket" with Reggie Jackson's signature. I sucked. I was a real Dick Stuart out there. |

Murphy was really good, but when you look at his baseball ref similar batter list, definitely not in Brett's league: Andruw Jones (929.6) Joe Carter (903.7) Duke Snider (883.9) * Don Baylor (880.6) Jim Edmonds (877.2) Alfonso Soriano (876.5) Ron Santo (875.4) * Gil Hodges (874.6) Ruben Sierra (870.1) Jack Clark (868.9) |
