Friday Focus: What players had to say about Rawlings’ Gold Glove Series Baseball Glove

 (Click for big)

We could probably start this blog entry by saying that the Rawlings Gold Glove Series Baseball Glove is worth is weight in gold.

We could call it the gold standard of baseball gloves. We could make a joke about how it’s “money in the field” or something equally as corny. But we’d rather let actual baseball players do the talking for us.

Here’s what Gold Glove owners have said:

Baseballplayer08 of Lancaster, SC said…

I got this glove last fall on a Thursday and played in a tournament on Saturday. Very easy to break in just play catch for maybe an hour and its game ready. I’ve had this glove for a year now and it still has its shape. Rawlings is a great brand!!

Lance of Sandusky, MI said…

This glove is well worth the money, it took me 30 minutes of playing catch to make the glove game ready. It is probably the best glove I have owned and I will be purchasing another one in the near future.

G Money of Soso, MS said…

This is the second of this glove that I have bought. The first one lasted from my freshman year of high school to freshman year of college, using it as my pitching glove, starting at least 1 game a week plus daily practice and bullpens. One of the best gloves I’ve ever had!

More than 100 different customers have returned to comment on the Rawlings Gold Glove Series Baseball Gloves, and nearly everybody has commented about its easy break-in, comfortable feel, good control and overall durability.

That’s because Rawlings’ Gold Glove Series doesn’t skimp on quality materials. It features full-grain leather laces, binding, and a deer tanned cowhide palm.

Catch them while you can: Rawlings’ limited edition 125th Anniversary Baseball Gloves

Rawlings has been in the baseball glove business since 1887. Back in those days, there were 38 states in the union, construction was just starting on the Eiffel Tower and steam locomotive was the quickest way to get around.

A lot has changed since then, but Rawlings is still “The Finest in the Field” with its selection of premium baseball gloves.

Rawlings will celebrate its 125th anniversary this year, and in honor of the occasion, they have released three limited edition baseball gloves. There’s one for outfielders, one for infielders and one for middle infielders.

Here’s a quick look at each glove.

This Gold Glove Series utilize pro quality materials and designs including authentic Rawlings Pro Patterns and high-quality US made Pro Grade Laces. With new pro soft leather that allows for a quicker, easier break-in, and full grain finger linings, these gloves maximize comfort and durability.
