A Glove of Their Own
A Glove Of Their Own ~ Video version of Book from Larry Richards on Vimeo.

My name is Bob Salomon and I have put together a wonderful project that is getting national attention and is capturing the heart of the nation.

The book is on a journey skyward and the goal is to be # 1 in the country. Several companies are on board including Rawlings, Louisville Slugger, Upper Deck, Modell’s Sporting Goods. Professional players and organizations include Jason Grilli, Ken Griffey, Joe Torre, Tommy John, Craig Biggio, Sean Casey, Brent Mayne,Bernie Williams, Nelson Cruz,Phil Niekro, Dick Drago, WBO/World Baseball Outreach, USA Cares,Cheerful Givers, and The Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center.

Additionally the International Baseball Federation (IBAF) sent 30 copies of the book to each of the members of their Global foundation to use to bring baseball back into the Olympics. It is an absolute honor to have our book used for a task of such Global magnitude.

Please visit my site at www.agloveoftheirown.com. I would love to talk to you about what we are doing and how you can support our mission by joining the team!

I have done several shows on both television and radio to help spread the exciting news about the book and the A Glove of Their Own movement. Samples of each are on my site (Note: I look much thinner in person-Ha Ha,Ha..!!)

Thanks so much,

Bob Salomon
