IUFLA Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 I thought it would be either Wilson, Rawlings, or Spaulding...Or maybe Nokona, but they had to change the name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I read something once about an outfielder for the Cardinals that wore 2 gloves to field a ball. Maybe he was later than Spaulding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really hurts. Head, face...you name it...when I first started playing organized baseball at 7 (none of this tee ball, not keep score crap) my Dad would hit me grounders every night...If I turned my head, he'd hit the next one hard, and say, "Don't play if you're afraid of it!" Years later I use to kid him and tell him they had 800 numbers for Dads like him now... I sure miss him... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are they? Pure guess, the Douglas Brothers. I think they are the most recent but not sure if either met the criteria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are they? Memory is fuzzy but didn't the Grant brothers team up at some point for a title? For football I'm going the Youngblood brothers. Look forward to the correct answers!
