What's up guys? I don't know if any of y'all play baseball/softball, but I'm on my company's team and our first practice is Wednesday. I just got back from the store and bought a new glove. This thing is freakin' tight. Does anyone have good advice as to how to break it in the fastest so that it's soft and pliable as opposed to hard and rigid? Right now I got a softball jammed in it, and it's lodged under my computer desk. Like this:




I don't expect it to be worked in by Wednesday, but I was hoping that by Monday (our first game), that it'll be nice and loose. I seem to remember when I was a kid, my dad had this oil that he'd put on the glove to soften it up... Kneadsfoot oil maybe?.. Anyways, do y'all do anything special?
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.
