    Default baseball question

    i'm playing in a work softball game tomorrow and i just found my glove and it is stiff as fuck. it kinda hurt just putting it on i remember back in the day i used to know some tricks to loosen that shit up but i don't remember haha.

    can anyone remember little league and how the hell you used to get your glove to not suck when you picked it up in april?

    Oiling it would help, but since you need to use it tomorow....put it under something really heavy until you go to use it tomorrow.

    go down to a pharmacy and get a bottle of mineral oil

    basically just lube the fuck out of your glove with the mineral oil, then wrap it in a moist, warm towel, and microwave it for like 3 seconds at the absolute maximum

    the key is to get it oily and attempt to capture the moistness in the leather

    oil it up, put a baseball in the glove, tie a rubber band around the glove, put it under your pillow or mattress and sleep on it
