Wilson Glove Day for the Tampa Bay Rays

Prior to yesterday spring training opener against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Tampa Bay Rays were visited by the Wilson Sporting Goods company as well as Master Craftsman Shigeaki Aso.

Wilson was presenting the Rays players with their custom made gloves that they’ll be using during the upcoming season. Joey Wendle, Jose De Leon, and Matt Duffy were among the players to receive their custom made gloves.

“There’s just something about getting a new glove. For me, bats are fun, shoes and cleats are fun, but every glove is just a little bit different. I think every infielder has a thing for getting a new glove. It kind of marks the start of a new season, and that’s always exciting.”

”I got my third-baseman glove, second base, shortstop and outfield. I don’t have a first base or catcher’s mitt yet. I’m hoping I don’t need them, but you never know.” - Joey Wendle
