Here is a comparison shot for you guys. The wristband on top is the orignal size that they sent to Big Frank when the Reebok deal started. The bottom one is the size that they eventually ended on.
I imagine that when Frank got the first ones and put them on, he was like is this REALLY what you guys invisioned. Remember Reebok hadn't gotten into baseball yet (at least MLB).

This thing is huge! It is dated to the day after his release from the Jays in 08...from when they were cleaning out his locker.

I wonder if this was the one that he wore on his 1990 Leaf rookie card? This was always my favorite rookie card from one of my favorite sets from the era. |

Wade - you have such a great collection from Frank. He is one of my favorites as I grew up in Sarasota, FL watching him play every spring training, and he lived in my neighborhood during several spring years. What probably hit me the most was your early year signature on the bat. I saw Frank play several times with the Sarasota White Sox (single A Florida State League), where he was there for a 2 week stint before heading to the bigs. On his last day, he signed a ball for me, which he wouldn't do his entire time there. Out of the 40 signatures that I obtained from him through the years, that was the only one that I could read his entire name - and he didn't sign it with "35".
What is the dating on the helmet you have? I had purchased one about five years ago that I thought was his rookie helmet from his call up, but I was just not comfortable enough with the provenance to truly believe it, and therefore flipped it. If you ever want to unload one of his gloves, let me know. Wes |
