September 8 in History

Jimmy Rooney, 9, of Newburyport, is overwhelmed by a baseball fielder's glove that is a family heirloom on September 8, 1978. The glove is about two feet across, weighs 10 pounds and carries the faintly discernible auto-graphs of many famous baseball players, among them Bebe Ruth, Bob Veach and Bob Feller. Jimmy's grandfather bought the glove years ago for $10 and occasionally displayed it in his Newburyport hardware store. The big mitt is about 50 years old. (Photo by AP Photo)
