The Boston Red Sox, according to this episode, lose the 1946 world series thanks to the amazing glove action of Jimmy Jonesboro. Well, they did lose the series in the final game. Unfortunately, right after the game, Jonesboro's glove is stolen and soon thereafter his baseball career tanks. A contemporary baseball player is in a serious slump and is sure that if he had Joneboro's "magic" glove he would get over his slump. As a benefactor of Trinity College, he gets Sydney to help him find the glove. The highlight of this episode was Gordon Pinsent as Jonesboro. Due South is one of my five favorite television shows and Pinsent was great in that series and so he is in this episode. Better than average entry.

A special glove
unbrokenmetal30 March 2014
Looking for a baseball glove doesn't sound too impressive, as Sydney spends much of her time finding golden crowns of emperors and such like. However, it's an original, well scripted episode. I did not think it was very believable, though, when Sydney knows all the baseball stats right away. She has got so much more to learn and keep in her head, including ancient languages, that she can hardly have enough time off to spend on sports. But anyway, it's fantasy.
Thomas Kretschmann as villain Reiner who is fighting Sydney in the beginning with a dagger (and leaves her stuck under a rock) made such an impact that he returned later for 2 more episodes. He is famous for 'King Kong', 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse' and several of Dario Argento's horror movies, to name but a few.
