Go to your local sporting goods store and buy some mink oil...after you apply the oil, its like a paste, stretch the glove and put it in an oven on 150 degrees to let the oil penetrate the leather for about 10 minutes.  Afterwords, you will only have reapply it rarely.

The first answer to this question is hysterical. Talk about not having a clue!\n\nAs stated by others already, the stuff you call tree sap is actually pine tar. It is sticky and used to give players a better grip on the bat. Players put it on their helmits so that they can easily re-apply whenever they feel like it just by touching the top of their helmit.

Since it's a 2-stroke it actually lubricates the motor from the oil you mix in your gas. The oil your looking for is for the crankcase or transmission. Use a 80 to 90 wieght trans oil. Here is a link of what I used to run in my bike.\nhttp://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_catalog/Product.jsp?skuId=&store=Main&catId=120&productId=p30220&leafCatId=12004&mmyId=#altImages

the blocker should be fine to use right away.  make sure you wear the glove for several hours to break it in before using it.  i would use your old glove for the first tryout and if you feel you didn't have a great tryout switch to the new glove for the second tryout to change things up.

From my personal experience, Hammer Bowling Balls are the way to go. From every price point, they give you a ball that performs on any condition.\n\nHaving said that, I currently use the Hawg Wild on heavy oil, the Doom Raw Hammer on medium oil, and the Switch Blade for dry lanes.\n\nIn the past month, I've had six people purchase the Raw Hammer on my suggestion while I was in my local pro shop. Having said that, I do not work in a pro shop, nor do I work for Hammer. I'm just another satisfied customer when it comes to the great products they offer.

USE THE DANG GLOVE...oil it up, put a ball in it, rubber band it.  Those are all goood things to do, but how is the glove going to mold to your hand if its never been on your hand?\nOil it once, let it sit with the ball in it.  Put the ball in the webbing of the glove and wrap the finger part, pinky, into the thumb.  Rubber band it and let it dry.  Then go play catch.\nAfter about 2-5 days of this the glove will be set to play with.

Keep your baseball glove in a cool, dry place when it is not in use. Do not leave your glove where the heat could affect the leather (the trunk of your car). \nIf your glove gets wet, dry it with a towel and let it air-dry. Do not put it in the oven or near a heater as it may dry out the leather.\nDo not over oil your baseball glove! A few time each season is plenty. \nPetroleum jelly keeps the pores open and in effect, keeps the leather “alive” while providing a softening condition. There are other cleaners and conditioners that are safe, especially those scientifically developed for glove leather\nKeep the laces tight.

same reason that a hockey goalie has pads.  they have 90 mph objects thrown or hit at them and they dont want to die.  would you want to have just a glove when a power pitcher throws that had at you?  basically for protection and they are most prone to injury on every play

I have never heard of a maxium glove size in baseball, but it may be different for different leagues.  Its usually not to your advantage using a softball glove in baseball because the deep pocket makes it hard to get the ball out fast.  If you are just using it to play catch or rec ball, its not a big deal.  Also it depends on how big it is too.  I know they make smaller softball gloves.  If it happens to be a 11" or 12" its not that big anyways.

garden glove? Washing gloves? Batting gloves?

If you don't have glove oil, you can use a small amount of shaving creme.  Also, take a baseball and put it in the glove and wrap it up really tight with rubber bands.  This will decrease the stiffness as well.  Check out the link for some tips.

Olive oil might work.  It would be better to use one that is water soluble, vaseline can lead to problems because it is petroleum based.  It is better to keep KY or something like it stashed away.
