Bill Dickey Game Used Mitt Given to Cal Hubbard
Vintage leather catcher’s mitt worn by Hall of Famer Bill Dickey. The glove originates from the family of Umpire Cal Hubbard and comes with a detailed letter explaining that it was given as a gift from Dickey to Hubbard’s children in the winter of 1945. Dickey explained to the children that in order to lessen the sting of a pitched ball, he would place a sponge inside of the glove over his palm. All of the mfg markings and model numbers have faded from use. Shows very heavy use with a broken lace in the webbing and a tear along the forefinger. LOA from Cal Hubbard family.
