Abstract

A baseball ball catching implement has a name plate fitting of rubber or synthetic resin having elasticity affixed to a back member of the implement at any desired position. The implement includes a name plate removably fitted in the name plate fitting. The name plate fitting includes a frame member having a contour corresponding to that of a name plate. The frame member includes an annular inward ledge arranged to define an annular step for receiving and retaining the name plate at its periphery, an annular outward ledge at the top of the frame member and an annular base portion extending outwardly from the lower end of the frame member beyond the ledge. The ledge and the base portion define an outwardly opening annular recess therebetween arranged to receive an edge defining a hole in the back member of the baseball ball catching implement. The annular base portion and the back member are connected to each other by stitches or in any other suitable way.
