“Here they are for you fellows,” a 1927 ad for “The Babe Ruth Home Run Specials” from Reach:
“At Last–every fellow who plays ball can have the kind of mitt or glove he’s always wanted. Not small size, shoddy gloves. Not the cheap-looking, cheap-wearing kids that go to pieces in a single season. But Full-sized Big League gloves.”
The Babe Ruth Specials retailed from $3.50 to $5.00 The catcher’s mitt was $8.
