After Googling for ambidextrous baseball gloves, I ran across an eBay auction for a one-of-a-kind Rawlings Ambidextrous Baseball Glove Prototype.
This prototype looks like a glove design that my son came up with when he was ten.
Make a glove that has two webs.
Of course, there is problem with this design - Where do the fingers go?
From the backside, it looks like the middle fingers might go into finger loops on the outside of the glove.
Glove description from the seller:
RARE Rawlings prototype HOH DOUBLE WEB baseball glove
My uncle was the glove supervisor at Rawlings for over 40 years, he saved a few prototypes. This one is the last of his collection and the Holy Grail..... This prototype was made with two webs. Very unusual and one of a kind! It was displayed at the Missouri Rawlings Headquarters years ago. Please check my 100% positive feedback before you bid, I listed two other prototypes tonight, this is the only glove that I'm going to put a reserve on, and if it doesn't sell, it may go to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
thanks, Terry
