Description
The first players to use baseball gloves were often taunted and teased as being sissies because they did not want to catch the ball with their bare hands.
The first baseball gloves were used in the 1870s. The basic idea was to create a glove that would pad and protect the players hands and provide a cushion for catching the ball.

As I baseball fan, I love the history here. Well done David. The design of gloves haven't changed much in recent years but they certainly are getting colorful and now are customized for players. :)
