Carlos Marmol And The Giant Glove

by Al Yellon on Jun 18, 2009 9:28 PM CDT in Game Photographs

This one requires a bit of explanation. This glove belongs to one of the Waveland ballhawks. Somehow it made its way into the ballpark during batting practice on Thursday. Several players tried it out, including Carlos Marmol. (Ballhawk, feel free to elaborate if you know more.)
