Joe
Orsulak Like lineup cards, I always get batting gloves at the dugouts and usually receive them in pairs. |

Jones Most players ball them up and toss them into the crowd as one unit, but sometimes the gloves separate and fly several feet apart. |

Dave
Nilsson Some guys intentionally toss a glove to one fan and then give the other to someone else. |

White This pair wins the Snazzy Award. |

Lowell Look how Lowell, then with the Marlins, taped two fingers together. |

Helms, Part I Players get all their equipment for free, so they sometimes give away batting gloves (and other items) that are still in great condition. |

Wes
Helms, Part II Apparently, you don't need to be an All-Star to have your uniform number on your batting gloves—or "glove" as was the case here. Helms hooked me up with this one in 2008, three years after I snagged the pair above. |

Will Rhymes I got this glove in Baltimore after the final game of the 2010 season. |

Unknown On 6/21/11 at Fenway Park, someone on the Padres hooked me up with this batting glove, and to my surprise, there was a baseball tucked inside. I have no idea who gave it to me because it was randomly tossed up from below the dugout roof. |

Jason Heyward I love it when batting gloves have uniform numbers and/or special logos. This one has both. Click the image on the left for a closer look; I've photographed the front and back to fully capture the awesomeness. |
