Don't just wax nostalgic when spring training opens this year, with memories of two Red Sox World Series titles in the last four years. Play the game like it used to be played. Akadema Professional offers a line of $99 mitts in its Hoboken Collection that are replicas of the baseball gloves worn by Babe Ruth, Bob Feller, and the "Iron Horse" Lou Gehrig, among others. Wear one of these and add a touch of history to your next game of catch. You'll be stepping back to an era when the game's greatest slugger was known for pumping hot dogs and custard pies into his system. And that's all.
