History

Early baseball gloves were simple and offered little padding or support. Some players cut the fingertips off for better grip, but the gloves still didnt provide much help. Many avoided wearing them until Albert Spalding helped make glove use more common. As the years passed, gloves began to change based on the positionoutfield gloves were deep, infield gloves were flatter, and mitts for catchers and first basemen were designed for heavy-duty catching.
