In the matter of gloves, it is up to the player himself to provide himself with a mitt which he can handle comfortably and deftly. Hank Greenberg played first base for Detroit with a glove so large that rival managers called it the "crab net," and there was even some talk of protesting to the league that it was illegal. Yet when Greenberg went to the outfield for the Tigers and Rudy York played first, York wore a glove that looked hardly larger than the mitten used by the motorman of a trolley car.
