Pros: i have had this glove now for two weeks and love it. broke in very fast. the construction a look is great. molds fast to my hand. nice deep pocket for slowpitch.
Cons: none, this glove will last a long time.
Pros: This is my favorite glove! I have tried all of the leading companies: Nokona, Rawlings, Wilson, and so on. I just happened to go to Louisville's gloves and decided to try it. With the new models made 100% American, I can tell the difference in quality! I love this glove.
Cons: None. Get this glove!
Pros: I bought the EV1175 for adult softball and baseball. I wanted an American made glove without the Nokona's high price. I like better than my A2K. Thick stiff leather similar to Wilson pro stiff but will last.
Cons: Pinky loop needs oiled and hammered to soften. Wished it was all black.
Pros: amazing glove, I love it, perfect in every way
Cons: a little harsh, but easily break, a glove for life

About the Brand
In 1842, J. Frederick Hillerich emigrated with his family from Baden-Baden, Germany to the United States. Eight years before, the 1834 Book of Sports had made its debut as the nation's first publication covering baseball. But when he arrived in Baltimore, J. Frederick Hillerich would never have dreamed of the future impact his family would have on America's favorite pastime.
After a short while, the Hillerichs moved to Louisville, where J. Fred started a woodworking shop in 1856. Two of his sons, Adam and John Andrew "Bud" were born in the United States and would later join their father in his business. By 1864 "J.F. Hillerich, Job Turning" was in operation and filled orders for businesses by custom-turning everything from balusters to bedposts.
The firm thrived, and by 1875 the little woodworking shop employed about 20 people. In 1880 Bud Hillerich, who was an amateur baseball player, became an apprentice in his father's shop. Young Bud made his own baseball bats along with bats for several of his teammates.
The debate over the origins of the first bat continues to generate controversy among baseball enthusiasts, but the younger Hillerich was most certainly involved in getting his father's business involved with what would become the company's signature item. According to company legend, the first bat was turned by Bud for Pete "The Old Gladiator" Browning in 1884. Browning was a star on Louisville's professional American Association team - the Eclipse. On a spring afternoon Bud, then seventeen, witnessed Browning break his favorite bat. Bud offered to make a bat for his hero, and Browning accepted. After the young wood shop apprentice lathed a quality stick from white ash, according to the story, Browning got three hits with it in the next game.
Louisville Slugger gloves are worn by more pitchers in Major League Baseball than any other glove.
