Lombardi's Shoe Repair ( That's the owners last name, talk to Frankie or his father), it's top of the Broadway hill in Schenectady, next to bank, and Bond Funeral home, it's on your left hand side
Thanks for the replies..........i googled the delmar bootery which i knew did them...found out they charged up to $60...and saw some less than stellar reports about them.
My google search also listed Troy Shoe Repair at 81 3rd St. in troy and he told me $20 so i brought it there...i'll post my results when i get it back.
hi johnny- just saw your note - i had a similar experience about three years ago: i went to delmar, they cost too much, then tried troy. results were good - in fact, the glove, about 15 years old, was not only stitched well, but it had a tighter feel.
i liked that old glove but i soon discovered that it had lost its strength and snap. found you just can't restitch youth into a glove (much as we try, i suppose, to restitch it into our games). i still practice with it, it holds up, and it still holds good memories. but it was really too faded and worn to have the sure feeling i wanted. so i went to goldstocks and found a $100 easton on sale for $49. that was in the fall - i don't know if they have sales now, though they might - and i really like it. the old one? it's still in my bag. i might need it sometime.
Believe it or not, one of your teammates actually has restrung several baseball gloves when he worked at Canterbury Leather in Orleans, MA. Used to live there too. Goes by the name o' Currier.
Hey guys I have a Henry Aaron 715 Glove that was made just one year. After a few years of use, I put it in moth balls, then pulled it out one day last spring an actually played catch with it - the idiot I can be! Several of the straps broke. I left it as is with the thought of having it restrung.
I haven't looked into whether it has any value or not, so I'm not sure whether to have it restrung or not. But it's been retired for good now. Any thoughts of who I can take it to to see its worth before I get it restrung - that's IF I get it restrung. JimK
