MacGregor Johnny Temple Glove

Like Ray Crone, I had never heard of Johnny Temple until I found his baseball glove in a thrift store. Temple played second base for the Reds, a teammate of Frank Robinson's.

He played from 1952-1964, and appeared in six all-star games.

I bought the glove for three dollars, and saw it listed on line for $100.00. Unfortunately, a kid wrote W-E-L-S-H and D-A-D-D-Y on the glove...one letter per finger.

Unlike the Crone glove, my Temple glove is left-handed, like me...so I'll enjoy it much more.

Interestingly, Temple's birthday is a day after mine.
