During the 1987-1993 era, Robin Yount, The Kid, patrolled the outfield of Milwaukee County Stadium and the rest of the American League ball parks of the Major Leagues wearing this exact glove. Anyone that watched Rockin' Robin play can't help but admire Robin's enthusiasm, passion, and excellence exhibited on a daily basis. Game used bats, game worn jerseys, and autographs are prized by collectors, but the glove is the ultimate prize. Very personal to a player, often one was used for an entire season, or over the span of several seasons. This glove is pounded, exhibiting extended use as illustrated as the patina of wear completely coats the inside of the mitt. Glove is a Rawlings with red wrist strap and circular R. "19" is written on documented, period black ink. "ROBIN YOUNT" is signed in black sharpie above the outer thumb and was signed during his playing days. After the end of the season, the glove was gifted to a friend of Yount, who shortly after brokered the sale to our consignor, who is a lifelong collector of Robin Yount cards and memorabilia. The glove has remained in his collection for 30+ years. Old time Milwaukee area collectors know the history of this glove and it has been a known Yount trophy for decades.
