The Mysterious Glove of Jesse Orosco

[lance_the_pants]

I was watching the Mets vs. Dodgers game, and they referred to the last time the Mets won the World Series, and it was on October 27th 1986.

Now, the reaction of Orosco is quite memorable, falling to his knees, being mobbed by teammates and fans alike, and tossing his glove into the air.

I have been doing research all night as to where that glove ended up, because what seems to have happened is, it NEVER came down.

So I figured I should post this here, and see if anyone on BBF has any ideas as to what happened to the glove that "defied gravity".

It ended up next to Mary Tyler Moore's hat.

...and Roy Hobbs' fireworks-inducing home run.

No no no... It's in that brief case at the end of Pulp Fiction.

Don't be silly, it's obviously in the package that the guy from Cast Away never opened.(actully, the producer of the movie said that inside that there was a water proof, GPS satelite phone inside of it, and he was serious,defeating the whole purpose of the movie)

Anywho, I havn't seen any video of game 7 of the 1986 WS in a while( have seen plenty of game 6 though ) Anybody got any pictures? (Video most likely won't work on my dial-up)

EDIT:http://cgi.ebay.com/Jesse-Orosco-Gam...QQcmdZViewItem Not sure if that is it, but it's one of his gloves atleast.

EDIT AGAIN: Just found this picture. You be the judge. If it is the ebay glove, atleast we know it came down.

Jimmy Hoffa knows where it is

You watched it on TNT this weekend as well huh?

That was driving me crazy....what was in that package and wouldn't it be ironic and kill the sympathy for Tom Hanks if it held something that would have saved him in less then 1,500 nights

Saw it twice this weekend, it always pissed me off that he never opened it... What if it was a GPS phone that could call from anywhere in the world??

I actually know where it is. But first, you'll have to remove the first row of teeth from my friend here, then tell him about the tooth fairy. All this while wiggling like a fish in distress.

Ok, now what?

I saw a video of it today, that glove takes off like a rocket.

I guess David Copperfield came by. He can let trains disappear, so a simple glove is peanuts for him.

Thats amazing, I wonder what did happen to it. Weird how it flew off so fast.

It's quite probable that the glove was simply retrieved by Jesse (or by someone else who gave it back to him) after the celebration. I'd bet he had that glove back in his locker the next day. Has anyone ever asked him?

According to the Director...it was a waterproof, GPS, Solar powered satellite phone...no lie

but it also was a symbol of Tom Hanks always believing he would get back to civilization to deliver it
