Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement confirmed that he’s been playing with a glove he bought on eBay during the team’s 2025 World Series matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers. <\/p>\n

“My other one broke, so I needed one quick that was already broken in,” Clement explained Friday on MLB Network Radio. “My other ones aren’t broken in the way I like.”<\/p>\n

Clement previously revealed that he purchased the glove several months prior to the Fall Classic.<\/p>\n

“Mine was getting worn, so this one looked good on eBay, so bought it,” he said after Toronto’s ALCS victory over the Seattle Mariners, per ESPN’s Tim Kurkjian<\/a>. “I have to wear a glove underneath my glove because this glove is so old, it has no padding in it.”<\/p>\n

The glove has served Clement well throughout the year, as he was named<\/a> a Gold Glove finalist at third base on Oct. 15.<\/p>\n

After hitting .277 with nine home runs and 50 RBI in 157 regular-season appearances, the 29-year-old has stepped up during Toronto’s postseason run. <\/p>\n

Clement is slashing .391\/.397\/.531 across 16 playoff contests and is currently riding an 11-game hitting streak. He came through with a sacrifice fly during the Blue Jays’ 6-1 win over the Dodgers in Game 5 on Wednesday, helping them take a 3-2 series lead.<\/p>\n

Toronto will look to close out the World Series in Game 6 on Friday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement confirmed that he’s been playing with a glove he bought on eBay…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254418,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-254417","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254417"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254417\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
