How to Break In A New Baseball Glove

When buying a new baseball glove, it is absolutely necessary to break it in before use. It also happens to be incredibly easy to do.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Your new baseball glove
• Any natural oil (sports stores will have them)
• Shoelaces
• Newspapers
• Baseball

1. Put on old clothes. The oils can stain!

2. Place down newspapers over the surface you are working on or just do it outside.

3. Open up the glove and squirt the oil in. Do it a little at a time.

4. In between each squirt of oil, use your muscles and rub the oil in well into the glove.

5. Place the ball into the pocket of the glove.

6. Tie the mitt closed with shoelaces (leave the ball inside). Have the mitt sit like this for a few days.

7. Play ball!
