The A2000 was an ideal pitcher's glove - you could hide
The ball and pack your lunch in one if you wanted. It was a little too big and floppy for an infielder. I don't remember anybody using Mizunos when ľ played. Wilson, Spaulding, and Rawlings dominated the market. I think Mizuno was first popular among softball players before crossing over to baseball,

Mizuno was big in Cincinnati area. I don'y know if many people know, but Cincinnati has been the biggest youth league baseball market for sporting goods for decades. I'd have to track down some of that old data, but this was the market that all the manufacturers started sales.

My first softball glove did happen to be a Mizuno, but it was my carryover from my High School days

Bob, Hoot, OTH - what would these boys think of wearing REAL Baseball cleatshh:
