Alfonso Soriano Glove

[allstarsplus]

Still possible that it is a backup, but that photo (along with the others in that same series on US Presswire) show him using a similar glove with a Trapeze-style web (and no wrist strap) - the same style he typically uses in games. The eBay glove has a different style web with a wrist strap. Definitely not the same style glove.

The "EL MONSTRUO" embroidery shown on that picture is a good sign that it was a glove most likely ordered by Alfonso Soriano.

Hopefully someone can find a picture of it to at least show he used it in BP or warmups.

Has anybody emailed the seller asking about it.

Andrew,

The flow is a bit off, but I have seen that style signature too. I consider that his "free" version, as opposed to where he us paid, and signs the whole thing. I do, however, trust that Rob said the promoters rush him through a signing and that's why it looks that way.

I understood this to be sourced from his brother which I thought would have a similar sig to most of his game used items on the market.

If it was signed at a game or Cubs Convention then I could understand the rushed look and the odd looking "A".

Andrew,

I just emailer you the same thing, but I was also under the impression it came from his brother. You make a good point about the "rushed" version of his signature though if it did come from his brother. As I said before, I have seen no "el monstruo" items before 2008. I thought it could be a warm up glove, but the us presswire photos show him during warm ups, and it's not the same glove.

Here is a picture of Soriano using a glove saying "El Monstruo"
I know its a trapeze but it also shows he used a glove with that embroidery during a game.

Jason,

Is that picture from 2001? I think I have seen that style glove from 2001, but I don't remember for sure.

Jason,

I stand corrected. I had never seen a gamers on the market with "el monstruo" from before 2008. Good detective work!

By the way.....that hummer shouldn't be hard to spot on the road! Cubs blue
