Joe Morgan professional model baseball glove c.1966...

Joe Morgan professional model baseball glove c.1966 (PSA/DNA Wilson model 786 model fielder's glove as used by Joe Morgan and is noted as one of only two professional model gloves within his personal collection. The glove shows exceptional use to include interior pocket wear (small hole at base of pointer finger), exterior surface wear, and replaced pocket web by Morgan or team during tenure of use. Interior Wilson manufacturer's stampings and "Joe Morgan" facsimile signature stamp remain clearly visible with "Morgan" and uniform number "8" found on back of glove in vintage black marker. The glove was clearly a favorite of Morgan's and used over a very long period time perhaps beginning with his tenure at Houston and continuing with the Reds in 1972. Morgan famously used one of the smallest fielder's gloves in the history of Major League Baseball due to his preference for a quick transfer of the ball rather than risking getting stuck within a larger model. The offered glove measures approx. 8" tall. Very rare game glove from one of the best defensive second baseman of the 1970s era. Includes LOA from PSA/DNA and letter of provenance from Theresa Morgan: VG-EX
