That is just awesome. Where you involved in picking it out or was it a surprise?

It was a surprise. My Dad drove us to the Rawlings warehouse here in St. Louis where he had already picked out the glove. I remember him saying he had a hard time finding a left-handed model.
Thanks for posting the pic. It brought back a rush of very happy memories.

Picked up this Johnny Mize Grand Slam baseball. The seller had deciphered some of the light printing on the ball, but I managed to get it all. The ball is a Ford Frick NL Spalding baseball. By checking the stamping against examples in Brandon Grunbaum's Baseball guide I was able to determine this type ball was only used in 1947-48 which checks out with the info on the ball.
