Both Schneider and his glove have taken the long way to the major leagues
While most professionals feature top-of-the-line models, Schneider found his in the lost-and-found bin last offseason, according to Sportsnet’s Hazel Mae.Schneider discovered nobody had claimed the old-school mitt, despite it remaining in the container for close to two years. So he picked it up essentially off the scrap heap and has since put it to good use.
One aspect that remained a mystery, however, was the “VUK” inscription written beside the Mizuno logo. Its origin was unknown to Schneider, or at least, it was until he learned about the connection to his skipper. The former Philadelphia Phillies third-base coach played 10 MLB seasons from 1970-81, with many of his teammates and coaches referring to him as “Vuk.” He passed away at the age of 59 in 2007.Vukovich’s son also jokingly demanded that Schneider return his late father’s glove.How Vukovich’s vintage glove found its way into a lost-and-found bin remains unknown. But considering its current owner has recently captivated the baseball world, it appears to be in fairly safe hands at the moment.
