[baseball]

I Love and Play baseball. Once upon a time there was a baseball glove company called
"Kelley"
They made outstanding gloves for more advanced players. They had arguably the best gloves in the world in the late nineties/early 00's.
They were only carried at Boutique "Pro" Baseball stores

THEN, they went 'direct'

I went to my local store to get a new one, and they only had a few left. This store used to carry their whole line... but now?

I asked the owner why he didn't have a selection and he told me he was angry with them for doing the online 'direct' thing and undermining the dealers. Well.. I didn't want to buy a glove I couldn't put on my hand and feel..it's as personal as a guitar.

..and apparently I wasn't alone. They quickly went under, even though the shrinking number I saw on fields were still pretty awesome.

Guitars are a lot like baseball gloves..they are all different and very personal.

OUT!
