There is nothing like a LandCruiser (or Lexus LX470) for serious back country work. It’s a shame that so many of them are condemned to mall crawling and shuttling to yoga class…

Just for @AutoMechanic my favorite ball glove. It’s held up to probably 5 years of 4 nights a week league softball and tournaments on weekends. Then probably View attachment 177353View attachment 177354View attachment 177355another 6+ years of 1 night a week. Only had one lacing repair done as I was pitching one night and caught a comeback er that busted some laces.

It's a Nokona, not just made in America, made in Texas. With that minimal use so far it's just barely broken in and likely has several more good decades in it.

It’s gonna outlast me. I’m semi retired now. It really is a quality made glove a tad heavier than most as the palm section is Buffalo leather. When I was playing all the time I’d wear out a Nike glove to the point it was floppy before the season was over.

I’d put it on par with the quality of the older Rawlings Gold Gloves or Wilson A2000. Once you get into that level I think it’s personal preference from there.

Surprisingly I didn’t go for a Rawlings as they had a factory in my hometown. Most of my family worked there at one point or another. Our little podunk town’s little league teams were always well equipped with mis stitched or other “seconds” of Rawlings equipment but they sent all of the operations that were housed there over seas many years ago.

This one goes all the way back to little league and was one of those factory seconds from the local plant’s employee store(not made there though as it’s clearly marked Made in S Korea). It’s been a back up for softball but never a primary glove. The palm pad is just shot. Anyone remember Andre “the hawk” Dawson? I’m showing my age here 🤣
