Abstract
A ball-catching glove for use in baseball and softball. A hollow glove body has a ball-catching palm portion and a rear portion comprising a bilayer structure having inner and outer layers of leather. A plurality of shape-retaining members, which are made of a suitable material such as a synthetic resin or an elastomer, are integrally secured on the outer surface of the rear portion, while reinforcing members are interposed between that outer surface and the shape-retaining members. Further, a plurality of buffer members are disposed between the inner and outer layers of leather. This arrangement renders the ball-catching glove free from deformation, and capable of effectively protecting the user's hand.
