I was admiring the T3 of Bridwell in the 3rd August pickup. I like the cards that show players with their gloves wadded into their back pocket. What is the "newest" card that shows a fielding glove jammed into the pocket? This might give us an idea of when players ended that practice.
The second question is a close cousin, what is the "newest" card that depicts fielding gloves laying in the grass, either on the edge of the outfield grass or just in foul territory? Players used to leave gloves out there in the field of play, but that ended in the mid 50s, I think. Anyone have a card that shows a glove out there?
