Glove Woes

You can revive or keep any glove alive...Wade Boggs used the same glove for 22+years. It all depends on how connected you feel to the glove AND how much you want to put into it to keep it going.

If you have a backup that is ready and willing, you can send your glove to this lady (http://www.sandalady.com) and get it re-conditioned and relaced. She's worked on gloves from little leaguer to big leaguers, and is said to have worked on 500+ gloves over a single spring training.

The other notable glove repair guy out there is John Golomb, I think his website is the sportsdoctor or the glovedoctor.

That glove sounds like it's plastic. Leather should last a Looooonnnngggggggg time. The first tip that it needs reconditioning is the leather threads start to fray pretty bad and sometimes break. You can get new threading at K-Mart, Wal-Mart, or your favorite sporting goods store.

The Sandladdy is outstanding.

She lives 10 minutes from Santa Rosa.
Where do you live? what is the make of your glove?
If it a Easton, you are a one hand catcher.

In case you need it:

The absolute BEST guy to get glove work done by is Kenny Jenkins... 20-year Rawlings vet, worked on a ton of MLB players gloves...
