Rawlings Fielding Gloves Dot Code Breaker???

Thanks everyone for the help on the Berkman Astros glove. I was worried I had something strange! Now I know it is a early career piece.

Thanks,

can you give us a recap of what you specifically discovered about your Berkman glove.

Yeah, sure. I only recently started to acquire game used gloves in the last 5-6 years. I was familiar with the BLACKHORSE system of dating Rawlings gloves. I was unaware of the dot system used in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The Berkman glove in question has a single dot, dating it to 2001. I was surprised to not find the BLACKHORSE on it, which prompted the question. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks,

The 2002 Joe Kennedy I just received today is the second Rawlings glove I have that has the date stamped on the inside of the wrist strap....The other is a 2002 Steve Kent.... I have 2001 Damian Rolls with no date stamped....

Ball Park Heroes has a Cory Lidle from 2001 that is date stamped inside.....

Well I have something that may baffle the Glove experts.

My Terrell Wade glove that I thought was a 2001 due to only one dot on the pinky.

It is actually a 2002 glove.

I looked inside and see that it is stamped 03-02....

Forgot to mention.

I now i have three gloves that are date stamped inside by the wrist strap....

I will look for others....
