So I was interested in answering or beginning to answer your question. I looked at the 1957 topps set because of all the photos used. There are a lot of portraits but also a lot of batting poses. Of all the batting poses only one had a glove on. Frank Robinson rookie. Now a few thoughts on that...
Since the players were posing did nearly all not bother to put on a glove except the rookie frank robinson? Was it considered not Macho to wear a glove at that time?
So at least we are at 1957 now.
