Help - Best place to find a left-hand thrower's catcher's mitt

[GoGamecocks]

Horrible timing on this. Daughter is off to college in just under a month, and her catcher's gear bag got stolen out of her car. Nothing really matters in there except her glove. She's a lefty-catcher, so finding a quality glove has always been tough. We had hoped to never buy another glove.

So does anyone know a retailer who might actually have something in stock? Need it ASAP because we're going to have to work double-time to get it broken in before practice starts.

Also - does anyone have any insight on the Shoeless Joe brand? I have never seen their glove in person - only online.

I got one a couple years back from Directsports.com ... Good outfit to deal with

My son is a lefty catcher (sometimes) and has the Shoeless Joe catchers mitt, seems to be a good quality mitt, break in was pretty easy.

Where is she going? Many, if not most, D1s buy gloves for the team.

This is the glove we're replacing. I found a used one on eBay, so we're going with that. I bought her a new fielder's glove (for her secondary position) on justgloves.com.

She's playing D3. The only thing they need are gloves and bats. And they don't really need bats.
