Did you know that you can use Vaseline instead of oil to soften the leather of a baseball glove? Works just fine!

I've played ball for 50 years! & this is one trick i have learned, beleave me the best way to break in a ball glove OR shoes is with (isopropyl rubbing alcohol !!!) NO oil NO grease NO vaseline all which will let dirt sand & other things stick in & on your glove! take the rubbing alcohol bottle & soak it --play catch--soak it--play catch do this 6 or 7 times !! some gloves it looks like some color is comming off,but they always look fine & it dosen't hurt them at all. (shoes) my friend always gets shoes a half size too small--soaks them then runs in them 3 0r 4 times & they form fit to his feet !! (yes you can do it with white shoes)

And while rubbing it down with Vaseline, try telling it how pretty it looks today. That always softens me up. LOL ;)
