Caring For Your Glove
by Chris Greco, Sr.


Now that your glove is broken-in, taking good care of it will keep it in good shape and  help it last longer.

  • Keep it clean.  Wipe off built up dirt with a rag or conditioning cloth.

  • Keep it dry.   If your glove gets damp from sweating don't just toss it in your bag after the game.  Let it air dry.

  • Keep your glove away from excessive heat or cold.

  • Oil the pocket, hinge and base of the web at the beginning and end of every season or if these areas become too dry.  Remember, use oil sparingly, on a cloth, and do not oil the entire glove during the season.

  • Treat your glove well.  Don't throw your glove around on or off the field, or leave it lying around the house.  Your glove doesn't just help you make outs it protects you on the field.

  • Store it properly.  Always place a small rolled up towel or a softball or at least a baseball in the pocket of the glove to maintain the glove's shape.

  • Check the laces.  Always keep the knots tied and properly replace any broken laces immediately.

The End of the Season

At the end of the season use only the smallest amount of oil, on a cloth, wiped all over the glove. Do not forget the inside linings and between the fingers.  This will help to  avoid brittle or hard leather patches when you bring the glove out next year.  Place a softball in the pocket. Put the glove in a cloth bag and set it in a protected location, like the top shelf in a clothes closet.   This will help ensure the glove is in good shape for next season.
