Pros: great glove! its all around good.. comfort, lightweight, solid, etc.
Cons: None
Mike
Pros: Beautiful glove. Great colors on the palm, back, and laces. Really looks sharp. I especially like the contrast of the dark brown leather back and the blonde laces. Comes somewhat stiff but the leather is very soft to the touch. Formed to my hand extremely well after some break in. Feels light weight. Tightness of the fit is average to maybe a little snug on my average size hands (my glove size at work is medium/7.5 for latex exam gloves). The texture of the perforated palm pad is nice but takes a little getting used to. Heel pad is low profile - just enough. No padding on the palm over the index finger/joint - just the leather. The pocket is not too deep. Bonus - This leather really smells great!
Cons: The pinky and thumb loops were a little stiff and made my skin a little raw. Had to put some glove oil on them to soften them up. After that and a little more break in they were fine.
Baseball Dad
Pros: Awesome glove. I wanted an American glove for myself and sons (travel team). My oldest son says better feel than Nokona and A2000. Pocket forms well and holds shape (flares well). Price is right!
Cons: No cons
Zach
Pros: Amazing leather. Strong laces. Holds shape so well. Dimpled lining gives great feel. Comes extremely stiff.
Cons: None.

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.
