I was told this story about Mariano's first glove many years ago in Panama by friends of his who played Little League baseball with him. There are other stories about the life of Mariano that tell how he became a Hall of Fame player and more importantly a wonderful human being.
Mariano would cut a glove out of a piece of cardboard. He would slip his hand threw the hole and use it for a glove. He is an amazing person and a wonderful role model for our youth on the fact that hard work and passion lead to success. As he has said, "Play with whatever you have. Make the biggest effort you can."
These are the kind of people who always find their way through the darkness.
My dad told me about this back in the day this is how they made their gloves
Even after all those year, he remembers what it took back then to make a glove. Such a passion for the game.
I love this story….I’ve watched it for years and it brings tears to my eyes. Mariano’s an amazing man!
