Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Product Description
Made of genuine steerhide leather for strength and durability, the
Louisville Slugger HS1400 slow-pitch softball glove is a good choice
for both competitive leagues and casual play. The 14-inch glove's
oil-treated leather offers a soft, comfortable feel and a quicker
break-in period, giving players the best of both worlds. The glove's
Slugger Touch finger linings, meanwhile, wick away perspiration from
the player's hand for unmatched control and comfort. And players will
love the Bruise-gard padding, which cushions the hand from stinging
hits and throws and offers extra protection in the palm in finger
areas. Other features include dye-through lacing for durability, a
deluxe ladder web, and an innovative Dual Wing closure system.
About Louisville Slugger
In many ways, the rich 120-year history of the Louisville Slugger
baseball bat began in the talented hands of 17-year-old John A. "Bud"
Hillerich. Bud's father, J.F. Hillerich, owned a woodworking shop in
Louisville in the 1880s when Bud began working for him. Legend has it
that Bud slipped away from work one afternoon in 1884 to watch the
Louisville Eclipse, the town's major league team. After Pete
Browning--the Eclipse's star who was mired in a hitting slump--broke
his bat, Bud invited him to his father's shop to make a new one. With
Browning at his side giving advice, Bud handcrafted a new bat from a
long slab of wood. Browning got three hits using the bat the next day.
Browning told his teammates, which began a surge of professional
ballplayers visiting the Hillerich shop.
Although J.F.
Hillerich had little interest in making bats, Bud persisted, eventually
registering the name Louisville Slugger with the U.S. patent office in
1894. In the early 1900s, the company was one of the first to use a
sports endorsement as a marketing strategy, paying Hall of Famer Honus
Wagner to use his name on a bat. By 1923, Louisville Slugger was the
selling more bats than any other bat maker in the country, with such
famed clients as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Lou Gehrig. In the ensuing
years, the company has sold more than 100 million bats, and 60 percent
of all Major League players currently use Louisville Sluggers. The
company now sells far more than bats, including fielding and batting
gloves, helmets, catchers' gear, equipment bags, training aids, and
accessories.
Customer Reviews
Catch by herself...
I wait for a while to submit my review to have a better opinion.
Confortable for small hands. Good material and well manufactured. To
play in the outfield the best choice I ever made.
