I don't know how they do it in the big leagues, but in these parts we sleep on 'em. Our baseball gloves that is. It's like a scene right out of The Sandlot. Something I know nothing about. I do however, trust Kyle. Kyle says that the only way to break in a new glove is to bury a baseball in in the palm, wrap it with rubber bands, and sleep on it.
Anyone know a good chiropractor?

yep yep yep.... actually our church league baseball started about a week ago and 2 weeks prior hubby done the same thing... though of course on HIS side ... i wasnt sleeping with something lumpy under me! lol
There's no better way to do it.
What if you put it UNDER the mattress? I remember breaking in my new glove. Oiling it. I couldn't play worth beans, but I loved it.
Of course, this is in the official guy handbook!! Also, putting it under the couch cushion with the glove while lounging also helps!
There is no way on earth I could do that. No. way.
I refused to sleep with it under my pillow. It shared the bed though. Kyle on the other hand...right under his pillow. Crazy I tell ya..Crazy! I like Jo's idea of putting it under the mattress or Martha's idea of putting it under the couch cushion!
My nephew has done this for years! He swears it's true!
Definitely the way we've always done it.
I think it's kinda like little girls who sleep in their new shoes to break them in. LOL
Too cute!
Wow, you gusy must really be into ball! We have never done that... but myboys don't even play anymore, beyond just for fun.
BTW- I am so sorry I could not make it to the meet anad greet! I hope we do another one soon!
I can't really comment on this one :( I have all girls and they do not play softball....
But to me it sounds a bit uncomfortable!
Always sleep on it! Chiro? I need one too for my neck!
It seems to be the popular thing to do! Sounds a little.... STRANGE!
Oh the game of summer!! I have no idea how to break in a glove, but we have a new one at our house...so we better figure it out.
Yup, they've been getting gloves ready for baseball season this way for many moons. Never done it myself, BUT I have fixed lots of baseball cap bills that way!
We always used to put it under our mattress, that way you hardly notice that you're laying on it.
Oh jeese... that sounds 50 kinds of painful. I'd never heard of this.
It blows my mind how EVERYONE else has.
I feel like I'm missing something!
ummmm, hahaha! I have never heard that one before. I heard using oil and wrapping a baseball/softball in it and setting cinder blocks on it, or even buying it at end of season and letting it sit all off season.
Sorry someone hurt their backs sleeping on it. It makes me chuckle thinking about it.
My dad has done that for years and swears by it.
I am glad that you didn't have to actually sleep on it. Or maybe you should and then make Kyle pay for weekly massages----sounds like a good plan to me!!
I made the comments an odd number and now it is driving me crazy. So here I am again. Thanks for the blog lunch. It was so great to meet you. You are as AMAZING in person as you are on your blog!!
No clue either! Other than from what I learned on Sandlot, too! LOL. We're into soccer in these here parts. I've got a great chiropractor, but I think we're in different states.
Sleep on it?? That's pretty cute.
OUCH! Hurts my neck just thinking about it! Never heard of it but I'll pass.
Kyle is right. I used to play softball and that's how I'd break in my new gloves. For some reason I don't remember it being very uncomfortable!
