1999-00 Orel Hershiser Game-Used Glove

Orel Hershiser’s Game-Used Louisville Slugger Glove: A Piece of Baseball History

A Glove with a Story

Step into the world of baseball history with this remarkable piece of memorabilia: a “Louisville Slugger” manufactured “G125-6P” model 12” fielder’s glove. This glove is not just an accessory; it is a testament to the legacy of Orel Hershiser, one of the most iconic pitchers in Major League Baseball history. The “Louisville Slugger” label graces the top of the wrist strap, while their circle “L” logo adorns the top of the thumb. However, all manufacturers’ labeling has been blacked out with a marker, a testament to Hershiser’s contract with another glove company, masking the manufacturer while he wielded this glove on the field.

Craftsmanship and Design

The glove is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, constructed from “Premium Grade Leather” and featuring a solid-laced web. The “Premium Steerhide” palm and fleece-lined wrist strap ensure comfort and durability. Embroidered in blue thread on the top of the thumb is the name “Orel Hershiser,” adding a personal touch to this extraordinary artifact. The palm, fingertips, and back of the fingers exhibit appropriate wear, indicative of its use by a major league pitcher.
