I just acquired this glove from George Hendrick's personal collection. He says he used it when he was with the Cardinals, but I question whether this style dates to his Cardinals days (1978-84). Any Mizuno glove experts out there?

The glove appears to be a perfect match to the one George is wearing on this card, but that obviously postdates his Cardinals career (George played with the Gold Coast Suns in 1989). Always possible he wore it in St. Louis and then wore the same glove five years later. I'm just curious if it's possible the glove could be old enough to be worn in St. Louis.

George definitely used Mizuno when he was with the Cards, but the style in this photo is different than the glove I have.
