PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Glove Day is a big deal.

When the Wilson representative rolls into Major League camp and spreads out his wares, he never fails to catch the players' attention.

"Glove Day never gets old," Rays right-hander Jose De Leon said. "Every time you get the Glove Day here, you think back to when you played Little League. Back in the day, you had to buy your own glove, and you'd use that one glove for a while."

De Leon said it usually takes him about two months to get his glove game ready.
