MIDDLETOWN >> Nakona, one of the country’s foremost baseball glove makers, has donated three of its gloves to victims of the Valley Fire.
Middletown High School baseball players Grady Fernandez and Wesley Wagner and Paige Duncan of the Middletown softball team will open the 2016 season wearing new Nakona gloves.
Nakona, which hand makes, cuts and stitches all of its gloves at its headquarters in Nacona, Texas, knows a thing or two about fires. In 2006, a fire burned its factory to the ground and the company has since re-established itself as one of the top baseball glove makers in the world.
Fernandez, Wagner and Duncan lost their gloves, among other personal possessions, during the devastating Valley Fire on Sept. 12-13.
