Abstract
A forming and shaping device for shaping a baseball or softball glove into a desired shape is provided. The device can include an exterior wall shaped to generally conform to the exterior web of the glove, an interior wall shaped to generally conform to the interior web of the glove, and a void defined between the exterior and interior walls configured to receive and hold the web of the glove in the desired shape. The device can include an opening defined between the interior and exterior walls to allow the glove to be inserted into the void. The device can have an arcuate shape configured to form the glove web into the desired shape. The interior wall can include upper and lower portions configured to form a pocket into the glove. The device can be constructed into a rigid shape in order to protect the glove and prevent deformation.
