The story begins with Preston's disappointment in getting a hand me down glove, but transitions into him helping his grandfather with a garage sale.  Each item is an item from the past not seen in most homes today- from encyclopedias to record players.  In the end we find out that Preston's father was a star college baseball player.  Not only was the hand me down glove cool, so was his dad!! On top of everything, Preston learns through his grandfather that it doesn't have to be new to be cool.  Sometimes the best things in life are those that are filled with love, emotion, and sentiment.
