oil?

Rawling's make's a glove oil.
Some player's don't like to oil there glove, And some do.
Don't oil to much.

Here is a web site that offers a great glove oil. I have used it to clean gloves and to break in a new HOH. The site also gives great ideas on breaking in a new glove.

Good luck!!!

My son tendorizes his glove.. beats it with a smooth, wooden stick. Just like Grandma did with the chuck meat. And no oil. Just work in some shaving cream, it works great and unlike glove oil (which tends to dry the glove out) it stays soft and supple.

There is no real secret to keeping a glove in tip top shape. Keep it clean and keep the leather in good condition. My son's equipment manager advised him to use the product Lexol to clean and maintain his glove. Lexol is well known in the auto industry to clean and condition leather upholstery and is also commonly used in horse saddles and other tack. Start with a quality glove and care for it. Don’t beat it, shave it, soak it, heat it, or otherwise punish it. Use catch and throw to break it in. If you are doing “other” things to speed up the break in period of your glove ---- you need to play more baseball. I’m amazed at people that spend hundreds of dollars on a glove on Monday, break it in on Tuesday, and have it destroyed by Friday.

Fungo you're right, but that's a lot of catch and throw.. and a lot of errors if you make the mistake of using it in a game. Using a smooth, wooden stick to tendorize the glove will not harm it, it merely simulates the impact of a baseball and makes the glove more pliable. After 3-4 days or 3-4 hours of tendorizing it with a good-sized dowel it is now ready for catch. My sons have used this method on all their gloves and it's worked great and never harmed the glove. One thing though: Don't hit it with your hand IN the glove!
