For anyone who can help here, I need a recommendation for some underwear that will last until I need diapers, and a spool of line for my Stihl string trimmer that NEVER runs out! Underwear is getting floppy!

Welcome to the forum robfamily!

May I ask what model of Rawlings and the price you paid for it?

She has a Rawling GG Elite. I think I paid $80 for it on sale. Is it unrealistic to want glove that lasts longer than 2 years? I know that $80 is cheap so 2 years isn't bad for the life of that glove. I don't want to invest $250 in a glove that will only last 2 years.

3rd / Pitcher

Generally I think H web for 3rd. Closed web for pitcher. If ok with an H at pitcher probably a lot more options.

That Vinci BV 1929 that gets recommended a lot comes to mind if she maybe has smaller hands. Seems to be a 12.5, that plays like a 12.25 and the pics I see comes with a basket web.

Thanks. I don't think she will be okay with H web for pitching. I am pretty certain she will want a closed web. She has bigger hands. She is 5"10" and wears size 11 shoe. I will look into the Vinci along with the Wilson a2000.

You got a reasonable life-span out of a glove in that price range. Maybe even more than reasonable.

In your current budget range, you're talking about top-end (or close to it) products from all of the manufacturers, and they will all last for multiple years. You really can't make a bad choice, and it all comes down to preference for fit and feel.

If we got two years out of a $80 glove I'd be thrilled!
