Breaking in a Baseball Glove
1. Using a clean rag, gently apply a thin layer of oil or shaving cream to the external parts of the glove.
Don't overdo it: too much oil will damage the leather.
2. Let your glove dry overnight.
3. The next day, pound the baseball or softball several times into the palm of the glove.
* Wedge the ball into the palm of the glove.
* Wrap the string around the glove with the ball inside and tie it tightly.
* Let the glove sit for at least three or four days.
4. Wipe the glove with a clean rag and then head out to the ball field.
