Re: Rawlings Fielding Gloves Dot Code Breaker???
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,Comment

Re: Rawlings Fielding Gloves Dot Code Breaker???
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.....

Re: Rawlings Glove Questions
I thought I had a grip on this whole thing, but I purchased a David Segui mitt, with 1 Dot. So, 2001, correct? Well, somehow I have the glove photomatched to 1998.
Wes is confused.
BCBC should be 14/14... That makes no sense to me.
The code I've always heard was:
B = 1
L = 2
A = 3
C = 4
K = 5
H = 6
O = 7
R = 8
S = 9
E = 0
Unless this was changed at some point to B = 0, in which case BCBC would be 03/03 March 2003.
Here's another thread on the same topic. Bottom line mass confusion.
As for the dots... go here
Dot System:
2 Dot- 2002
1 Dot- 2001
5 Dots- 2000
4 Dots- 1999
3 Dots- 1998sigpic

Re: Rawlings Glove Questions
Are you sure it is a photomatch or just a style match? Gloves are pretty hard to match. Look inside the wrist strap by the pinky for a date code....Comment

Re: Rawlings Glove Questions
yep, pretty sure... 98% confidence - everything lines up and nothing on the photos that doesn't match my glove, but lacking the resolution to definitively call it. Additionally, glove has #21 written on it and is signed with a 21 inscription, the last year Segui wore #21 was 1999. This glove actually may have been manufactured in winter 1996 and used 1997-98, which would correspond to a 1-Dot in the 5-Dot system. 1998 was known to be 3, then 1997 could be 2, and 1996 could be 1. I heard that some factories started using the 5-Dot code in 1995, 5 Dots for 1995 being the origin of the system.sigpic

Any Way To Date A Rawlings Fielding Glove?
Title states it all. I have a Norm Charlton Rawlings fielder's glove with "Stormin'" stitched into it, and was trying to figure out if there was any way to put a date on it. I would appreciate any info you could give me!
Thanks,

Re: Any Way To Date A Rawlings Fielding Glove?
This may help.
But I have this suspicion that some of the pro issued gloves to players lack a date code imprint, or sometimes don't follow the standard formula.Comment
