Gloves resembled leather work gloves, with or without  fingers, with little to no padding.






Bats looked and felt different than what you see today. They had   
thicker handles and more of a gradual taper from the handle to the
barrel. Sometimes they were made without  knobs on the handles.
The Equipment

Many teams wore laced-front,  
collared shirts. The team name of
was sewn on the front of their
shirts.

Pinstripes were introduced in the
late 80's for the first time.

Spiked shoes were also used by
many players. Shoes were usually
black, but could sometimes be
white with accents.
