Well, you can go to a sporting goods store and check out some stuff called "Hot Glove" I used it on the glove that I got right before I started my Freshman season in college and it worked amazing. its some compound that you put on your glove then you put your glove in the oven for a couple minutes and all the stuff gets absorbed into the leather and it helps break your glove in a lot faster... that would be the quickest way I can think of. Also... take a softball and put in the pocket and wrap a lot of rubber bands around it to hold it in place. Try to work the leather in naturally other than that though. If you use too much oil it will get really flimsy really fast. Ahhhhh.... the good ol' days of waking up at 5 o'clock in the morning for baseball practice.... BLAH!
