Baseball Glove

Baseball gloves are primarily made of leather. But the strength and quality of the leather can very greatly from glove-to-glove. The type of leather used can have drastic effects on a glove: How it looks, how it feels, how hard it is to break-in, how much it costs, and how long it lasts.

The web of your glove not only adds to the look of your glove, but it can even define field positions or even yourself as a player.

Throughout the history of baseball, there have been many men whose names have been immortalized for their accomplishments on the field or their larger-than-life personalities.

Babe Ruth. Joe DiMaggio. Ted Williams. Tony Gwynn. Rickey Henderson. Ken Griffey Jr. These men are some of the greatest to ever play, but none of them were able to change the game the same way as first baseman, Charlie Waitt.

Peanuts. Popcorn. Cracker Jack. Soda pop. These are just a few of the smells fans encounter during a trip to the old ballpark. The smells of the game are just as American as the game itself. And now, Rawlings is bringing the game's aromas to players and fans of all ages with their new Scratch N Sniff (SNS) line of gloves.

For any baseball fan, there is no greater memory than receiving your first baseball glove. The feeling of slipping it over your hand for the first time.  And thanks to Wilson Sporting Goods, it’s a feeling that has become a ritual for Major Leaguers every Spring with the creation of Glove Day.
