History

When baseball gloves were first introduced, they were simply thin leather coverings with open fingertips. They didnt offer much protection, and many players were hesitant to wear them. That attitude shifted when Albert Spalding promoted glove use, helping it become a standard part of the game. Through the decades, gloves became more advanced and specific to positionsoutfielders needed deep pockets, infielders needed quicker access, and catchers and first basemen used larger, padded mitts.
