Ernie Clement made an unusual purchase midway through the 2025 season.

Ernie Clement stuns MLB with eBay glove as he eyes Gold Glove glory!
Ernie Clement's Unlikely Path to Gold Glove Nomination The Toronto Blue Jays' Ernie Clement has made waves this season, earning nominations as a finalist for two coveted Gold Gloves.
You read that right. The Cult hero of Toronto went onto the auction website to re-up his baseball essentials.
Mine was getting worn, so this one looked good on eBay, so bought it. I have to wear a glove underneath my glove because this glove is so old, it has no padding in it.

Ernie Clement's new/old glove could have unique history
Before the World Series, the history of Clement's new glove - or is that old glove - was unknown. And in many ways it still is.
It's a glove that could have a story behind it, either dull or fantastical. But for Ernie Clement, he doesn't care about that. He just knows that works and that's helped him get to the World Series.
