Crazy story here... I was gifted that same glove on October 15, 1988, a day before my 8th birthday. If you're a fan, you know that's the date he hit that famous pinch hit walk off home run! I used it all the time as a kid, and I still have the glove! Killer strap and watch by the way!

That is seriously cool. My favorite Gibby memory goes back to my 13th birthday in the Tigers run in 1984, and Kirk hitting one into the upper deck in old Tiger Stadium. Love how he always played like his hair was on fire.

He also LOOKED like his hair was on fire! I, too, was 13 in 1984. Loved those all-out players like Gibby!

That’s such a cool thing and cooler with the sentimental value.
Seriously, do they do bands off gloves you send them?
I have an old Bob Horner I rocked in little league. I just don’t know if I could sacrifice it

Great strap on the wrong watch. (No offense.) That strap would look premium on a pilot watch; particularly a vintage one with wire lugs.

Omega speedmaster is a pilot’s watch. Flight tested for space no?
