Vintage Wilson (A2104) 1940\'s right-handed fielder\'s glove Enos Slaughter (St. Louis Cardinals / NY Yankees) Ball Hawk Baseball Glove Model A2104. Nice condition. I did tighten it up a little but left all the original leather as you can see in the pic (longer piece on the pinky)
The glove displays some wear .. And THAT is why it\'s SO SO COOL!
Enos Slaughter
Batting left-handed and throwing right, he was renowned for his smooth swing that made him a reliable \"contact\" hitter. Slaughter had 2,383 hits in his career, including 169 home runs , and 1,304 RBIs in 2,380 games. Slaughter played 19 seasons with the Cardinals, Yankees, Kansas City Athletics , and Milwaukee Braves . During that period, he was a 10-time All-Star and played in five World Series. His 1,820 games played ranks fourth in Cardinals\' history behind Ozzie Smith , Lou Brock , and Stan Musial . He presently ranks second in RBIs with 1,148; fifth in ABs with 6,775; and sixth in doubles with 366. His career accomplishments are especially impressive considering that he missed 3 seasons beginning in 1943 (when he was 27) to serve in the military during World War II.
Immediately upon his return from the service in 1946, he led the National League with 130 RBI and led the Cardinals to a World Series win over the Boston Red Sox . In the decisive seventh game of that series, Slaughter, running with the pitch, made a famous \" Mad Dash \" for home from first base on Harry Walker \'s hit in the eighth inning, scoring the winning run after a delayed relay throw by the Red Sox\' Johnny Pesky . The hit was ruled a double, though most observers felt it should have been ruled a single, as only the throw home allowed Walker to advance to second base. This play was named #10 on the Sporting News list of Baseball\'s 25 Greatest Moments in 2001.
Thank you very much for looking.
