This baseball glove dates back to 1925. It's a family heirloom. You can tell that the person who owned it really put it to good use, and loved the game of baseball. My son is honored to have this glove as a reminder of his great grandfather's love of baseball, and he's in the process of breaking in a few gloves of his own.
Real objects and photos like these can really make you think about how things used to be. While there's a lot of controversy about this sport nowadays, it's nothing compared to what it was back then. For that reason, I have to postpone my post about nonfiction books for tweens and teens until Monday.
My goal will always be to recommend what I consider to be the very best books. It turns out that there is one more that I need to seek out before I complete that post. I apologize for stating in Part 1 that I would post Part 2 today. Usually I keep my promises, but in this case, I feel that I need to complete this research first.
Next week, I will provide you with more math resources (and maybe a recipe) as well. By the way, if your child loves sports or collects baseball cards, it's a great way to start talking about math!
Have a wonderful weekend. I hope that you're able to spend some time outdoors!
