Players are notorious for guarding their glove like they would their first born. JJ Hardy was no different as he cherished his wares.
This Rawlings model PRO-S15TC glove was used by Hardy during his early professional beginnings. Hardy signed a back finger in blue felt tip and inscribed "Game used high A and AA".
Outstanding use is shown with great pocket wear. "J.J. Hardy" is embroidered on the thumb in black thread. We must report there is material loss near the by the middle finger slot, pinkie and near the wriststrap. We aren't sure if Hardy did this or the use resulted in such degradation.
Overall, a quality Hardy artifact from his earliest of days in Milwaukee's organization.
