How do you 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. Step 1 Put on old clothes. The oils can stain! Step 2 Place down newspapers over the surface you are working on or just do it outside. Step 3 Open up the glove and squirt the oil in. Do it a little at a time. Step 4 In between each squirt of oil, use your muscles and rub the oil in well into the glove. Step 5 Place the ball into the pocket of the glove. Step 6 Tie the mitt closed with shoelaces (leave the ball inside). Have the mitt sit like this for a few days. Step 7 Play ball!
