Fact check: Did Davis Schneider use a glove from 'lost and found' during his 3rd MLB game? Exploring the reality as tweet surfaces the internet

Davis Schneider, an infielder with the Toronto Blue Jays, made headlines off the field while also creating waves with his bat during his major league debut series.

According to Sportsnet's Hazel Mae, it was revealed that Schneider stumbled upon a remarkable find - his vintage Mizuno glove - in the lost-and-found section of the facility where he dedicates his off-seasons to practice and coaching. This fascinating incident took place just before Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox, adding an extra layer of interest to his already burgeoning baseball career.

The glove had "VUK" written on it, inspiring Schneider's colleagues to reportedly use that as a moniker for the 24-year-old shortstop.

On Friday, Schneider blasted a home run in his major league debut. On Saturday, he had three hits and went on to reach base four times. On Sunday, he smashed another home run. He has successfully fielded both of his opportunities thus far, proving that his worn-out glove hasn't let him down yet either.
