PLEASE REFER TO PIC #5 WHICH SHOWS A REGULATION BASEBALL IN THE POCKET OF THE GLOVE. Rawlings Heart of the Hide Series is well known around the baseball world as one of the top series of gloves available. Heart of the Hide says it all, as the leather that is used for this glove is some of the highest quality leather available. For over 50 years the Heart of the Hide series has performed at the highest levels in the game. Made with pro patterns, the top 5% of steer hides, and pro grade lace, these gloves will continue to perform year after year. This new Heart of the Hide leather is tanned softer for that game ready feel with the durability and consistency that is expected from a Rawlings Heart of the Hide Glove. The softness of this new leather allows for less break in time. It also has a deer tanned cowhide palm, wool blend padding and finger back linings for strength, comfort and durability. The best glove technicians in the world designed the pro pattern design. All patterns are endlessly field tested and constantly improved by hundreds of professional and top amateur players. The HOH Game Day Series Gloves provide elite players with the pro-style glove they need to make their work in the field. Rawlings: It's in the Name and it always keeps you in the Game. The Mark of a Pro. FEATURES: 12.25 Inch Pattern Break-In: 40% Factory, 60% Player Fastback Back Game Ready Feel Pattern worn by Prince Fielder Pro H-Web Softer Feel TT Pro Lace Wool Padding For Extra Cushion TIP: Many of the higher-end premium gloves produced by Rawlings, Wilson, Mizuno, etc. have inner pockets that are pre-oiled at the factory. There is a tendency for the oil to bleed through (particularly on the lighter tan and brown colored gloves) and it is not uncommon to see what appears to be an oil stain of varying degree in the palm area of these gloves. I have received gloves in the past that arrived without any evidence of oil and within months, the oil bleeds through into the palm. Personally, I would not let this condition deter one from buying a glove. Many of the gloves ordered off of "stock"pictures on the internet will end up having this condition. TIP: Many of the premium gloves including Rawlings Pro Preferred & Heart of the Hide, Wilson's A2000 & A3000, Mizuno's Classic Pro and Pro Limited, etc. are somewhat stiff when brand new. A quality glove conditioner will do much to reduce the break-in period for any stiff new glove . Almost all glove conditioners will generally darken the leather and appearance of lighter colored gloves. If you buy a new glove and don't like the look of the pre-oiled palm area, condition the glove with a premium product such as Wilson's Pro Stock Glove Conditioner and the pocket/palm area will darken and blend in more with the rest of the glove. TIP: Regardless of whether you prefer the natural method of breaking in a glove, sooner or later you will have to recondition your glove! Personally, I recommend cleaning and conditioning a glove each and every year after a good season of use. All leather gloves will start to dry out and laces will become brittle when subjected to regular use. Prolonged exposure to sand and dirt, wind, rain, hot sun, etc. will take its toll on even the very best glove. PLEASE stay away from those cheap oils, foams or other liquid products out there on the market. The foams don't work and liquids such as oils are absorbed deep into the glove, add a tremendous amount of weight, and are nothing more than a magnet for attracting dirt and debris. Also, PLEASE don't ever bake your baseball glove in the oven or microwave or soak it in the tub to aid in the break-in process. You will invariably destroy a very fine piece of leather and take years off a gloves life! Personally, I never use anything but a paste type glove conditioner. Although I prefer Wilson Pro Stock Glove Conditioner, there are comparable products on the market from manufacturers such as Easton, Nokona, etc. Regardless of what brand of paste type conditioner you choose to use, do yourself a favor and make sure it contains lanolin and vitamin E. Nothing is better at restoring and revitalizing the leather on your glove! With a little care, your glove should last for many years and most likely outlive your baseball career.
