I guess they're not claiming it to be the same glove in the photos. They're just saying the photos prove he wore catcher's gear during that time.
Thanks for clarifying. So what the authenticators are saying is that the glove's physical characteristics are consistent with the family's claim but they aren't linking it to Ruth specifically. So ultimately this rests on the family's story. IF I am getting this right.
