How should I break in my baseball glove?

Question

I have a wilson A2K infield glove. Can someone please tell me how i should break my glove in without ruining it.

Thanks!

Answer 1

They sell an oil that will loosen up the leather.  Apply oil to your glove.  go heavy in the pocket and palm area, then put a baseball in the pocket and put something heavy on the thumb of the glove to close it and leave it that way overnight.  It will help to loosen it up and form a nice pocket.  Also, keep opening and closing your glove with the oil applied to break it in.

Rub Musk Oil into the palm and fingers.  Put a baseball into it, and tie a string around it as tight as you can.  Leave it sit for 10-24 hours.
