How to Break in a Baseball Glove | The Art of Manliness

How to break in a baseball glove

On the website artofmanliness.com, it demonstrates many examples of what you need to be a real man and how to be a real man. One example that caught my eye was how to break in a baseball glove. Their first step was to put hot water in the pocket of the baseball glove. When the glove is still wet, pound it with a baseball to form the pocket. Next they say to put the baseball where you want the pocket to be formed and tie it with a belt and leave it for a few hours in a warm, dry area. When the glove is still damp, do some more pounding and also play lots of catch. Some things you shouldn't do to break in the glove is put it in the oven, run over it with a car, or put too much oil on it. The way I like to break in my glove is to just play a lot of catch. I don't like using those other techniques because it doesn't usually break in my glove the way I want it to.

Jeep Company

Jeep is a brand of American automobiles that is a division of FCA US LLC (formerly Chrysler Group, LLC), an entirely  owned subsidiary of Fiat Chrysler Automobile. The former Chrysler Corporation acquired the Jeep brand, along with the remaining assets of its owner American Motors, in 1987. Jeep's current product range consists solely of sport utility vehicles and off-road vehicles, but has also included pickup trucks in the past.

 The original Jeep was the prototype Bantam BRC. Jeeps went into production in 1941 specifically for the military, arguably making them the oldest four-wheel drive mass-production vehicles now known as SUVs. The Jeep became the primary light 4-wheel-drive vehicle of the United States Army and the Allies during World War II, as well as the postwar period. The most popular Jeeps sold today are the Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, and Cherokee.
