	The Baseball Glove Comes to Baseball, 1875
		In these early days of baseball, players were expected to take the field without benefit of protective equipment such as a baseball glove or catcher's mask.
		The glove worn by him was of flesh color, with a large, round opening in the back.
		Despite its obvious benefit, the baseball glove was not adopted as a necessary piece of equipment until 10 years after its introduction.

	Baseball Glove: How Products are Made
		Even baseball gloves of twenty years ago seem antique compared to present-day relatives in their ability to protect the hand and help a player catch a ball.
		A modern player can now, with his modern glove, make one handed catches; behind the plate, a catcher uses his flexible, fitted mitt with the surgical sureness of a doctor, plucking a ball from the air as if he were using a pair of tweezers to remove a splinter.
		The manufacturing process for baseball gloves is fairly simple: the various parts of the glove are cut and then sewn together with a long string of rawhide leather.

	How To Choose A Glove
		It seems that the latest craze in glove leather is the new oil treated gloves that are injected with oil while still in the factory.
		Pitchers have some special little gimmicks on their gloves including one that was developed by Wilson in the early 90's to help a struggling pitcher.
		Wilson has avoided making all of their gloves with oil treated leather like Rawlings did and all of their gloves come in a nice generic shape that is just waiting to be manipulated into your own personal mitt.

	Baseball Glove Rule Clarified (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The purpose of requiring pitchers' gloves to be uniform in color, as well as neither white nor gray, is to prevent him from gaining an advantage over the batter by means of distraction.
		As such the glove should be composed of clearly opposing colors, with the opposing color forming a significant portion of the glove before it is disallowed.
		The tan of the glove and the dark brown of the stitching are considered to be, for the purposes of this rule, uniform in color as they do not pose a significant clash for the batter's eye.

	The Sandalady Baseball Glove Repair and Baseball Glove Conditioner
		The "veneer" glove presents the same repair problems as the "pre-broken" glove; the body material is too flimsy for permanent repairs to be possible.
		The most important part of caring for your glove is to recognize that leather will deteriorate if subjected to repeated exposure to moisture and heat (i.e., the sweat from your hand and the warmth of the interior of the trunk of your car).
		Always wear a batting glove under your baseball glove (unless you are a baseball pitcher); this absorbs the sweat from your hand.
