Excellently kept Vintage Rawlings SG 96 Beautiful condition. Please read below for history and info. The Rawlings SG 96 is a vintage baseball and softball glove from the "Premium Series," primarily manufactured in Japan during the 1980s. While the series debuted around 1984–1985, the SG 96 was the largest model in the lineup and remained a popular choice for outfielders and softball players through the late 1980s. Key Specifications Size: Typically measures 13 to 14 inches, making it suitable for all positions but specialized for outfield and slowpitch softball. Material: Constructed from high-quality premium leather (all-leather, no vinyl). Design Features: Back Style: Features a Fastback design with a Holdster finger hole for improved control. Pocket: Equipped with a Deep Well Pocket designed for catching larger softballs or securing fly balls. Heel: Includes an Edge-U-Cated Heel design, which was a Rawlings innovation to help the glove close properly. Color: Most commonly found in reddish-brown or copper-toned leather. Historical Context The "SG" designation stands for Softball Glove, though it is frequently used for baseball. In the Rawlings hierarchy of the 1980s, the SG Premium Series was positioned just below the professional-grade Heart of the Hide (HOH) line. Collectors often look for dot codes on the thumb or pinky to verify the exact production year; for example, a "2 dot" code often corresponds to specific manufacturing windows in that era.
