is this a good high school/college glove to use? if not which glove do you think is best for high school and college? baseball21
I am used to wrapping my All Star son's standard TPX Omaha glove with a wide velcro strap and a couple of placed balls in the pocket after each use; in order to keep it's pocket shape and glove "cup". Would I wreck the "flare" of this TPX glove in continuing this practice? What if anything do you recommend to keep the flare gloves' pocket shape, and not just folding it flat at the hinge when in his bag. Thanks Ken Kenny
would this glove be good for fastpitch or slowpitch? busdriver6
My 13 year old son plays 2nd and outfield. He likes a deep pocket - does it have a deep pocket? Is this a light weight glove as that is very important to him? lax dad too
My son is a big 10-year old who pitches and plays outfield along with first base (he already has a first baseman's glove). Would this glove be a good compromise for pitching and the outfield? Also, does the glove have a palm pad like the Omaha Pro and TPX Lite series? Thanks! YCLL Equipment Mgr.
Which is the best outfield glove? I borrowed a teammates TPX omaha flare for a few weeks, but it seemed like it barely had a pocket. it seemed like once the glove closed, the ball would move around inside the glove, making me nervous. was this just a result of a poor break it? or which glove do you recommend to be a successful outfield glove? I was thinking about a wilson A2000 Allan
Is it easy to break in? Vince
Is this a good infielder's glove? eastham41
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.
