How To Break In A Baseball Glove?

I tried once freezing it. I was told to use glove oil , put a ball in it, tie a string around it and put it in the freezer over night. I never thought it would work but was surprised it actually did work.

There's a beautiful essay by Bill Meisner in " I recall it's about showing his son how to break in a baseball glove. (I can't remember the exact title of that particular essay). "tting Into the Wind is a wonderful collection of observations for anyone who loves baseball.

I had Professor Meisner for my Creative Writing Class in St. Cloud, MN, but I had heard about "tting Into the Wind" before I ever took his class. One of my favorite essays in that book is on Kirby Puckett's legs. It's quite sweet, actually.

I have played and coached ball all my life and recently joined an over 35 year old team. I have tried many ways to break in a glove. The best method that I have found is this:- load it up with shaving cream...cream, not gel!

- lather it up and rub it in- shape, insert ball, and wrap with multiple rubber bands across the width of the glove- use the glove while getting loose before each practice or game for about a year (have a catch with it about twice a week during the off season)- after a year, it should be ready to use as your "game" gloveOngoing maintenance of your game glove should also follow an annual shaping and shaving cream treatment regimen as well. If maintenance is undertaken a glove could last as your "game" glove for years with only replacement of laces as needed. -Patrick.

We use to put oil on the glove and put a baseball in the perfect spot and roll over it with the car a couple times. Sounds crazy but that's what we did and my brother was a professional baseball player and it worked for him too. Hope this helps some.Lanea.

By spitting on it some say that is the solution,Human saliva and luck!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
