    Description

    Here is a vintage 1960's era (or possibly early 1970's) made in USA Spalding Carl Yastremski Autograph Model 42-987 baseball mitt or glove for a right handed thrower, meaning it fits on the left hand. I couldn't find this model number in the Spalding catalog info from Joe Phillips 2007 Vintage Baseball Glove Catalog Source Book. It looks and feels like a quality made glove. It measures 11" long through the pocket. Soft leather inside and out. Made in USA.  Form Pocket by web, E-Z Flex and Split-Action web. 100% Nylon Stitched and Pat. No. 2,995,757. Blue, red and white Spalding patch on the backstrap shows some wear but is readable. Adult sized.

He was the American League MVP in 1967, the year he won the AL Triple Crown, leading the AL in batting average, home runs and RBI's. He was a 18 time All-Star.
    I have other gloves and mitts on eBay ending now and I like to combine shipping whenever possible. If you win more than one glove you'll have to pay the grand total for shipping. But I'll refund you the difference back on the price of combined shipping. Or I'll send out an invoice if possible.
