No oil on new baseball gloves? Why and what should we do?
We have had a bunch of inquires from people asking about Coach Scott’s reasons for not using oil on new baseball gloves. Below is a recap of his comments made earlier this year.
Coach Scott: The reason I do not like oil to break in baseball gloves is simple. In my opinion oil takes life out of the glove. Most baseball gloves come preconditioned, now it is up to the user of the glove to break it in the old fashion way, by using it. Oil can make the leather to soft which allows the leather to stretch more than it should. This can lead to ripping of the leather. Oil also, adds weight to the glove and can make it heavy. To make a baseball glove last a long time, make sure the laces stay tight. Do not throw the glove in your bat bag when you are done using it. It will only get smashed and bent out of shape. Carry the baseball glove in your hand. When you get home put it up for safe keeping by placing the palm of the glove down (Do not leave your glove in the trunk of a car). As a baseball mitt starts to age they seem to dry out. Now is the time for oil. Use a very light amount. If you you think you have the perfect amount you most likely have to much. Use very thin layers. P.S. when buying a glove, the stiffer the leather, the better the leather.
So what Coach Scott is saying is to use your baseball glove to properly break-it in. As the glove ages and dry’s, then use oil and use it very sparingly. I’ve seen coaches catchers mitt and it is almost 20 years old. They are as good as new.

Cecchi Chianti Classico 2006 is a great red wine for those hearty meat entrees. This is a full body wine that does round out in the finish. The nose will smell slight pepper, dark cherry’s and a hint of violet.
We just came back from the Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT. We had the pleasure of tasting of this and three other Cecchi (pronounced as Check Key) wines. This Chianti Classico is from the heartland of the Tuscany region of Italy.
This wine is delightful and finishishes very nicely on the palette. Click on the label and order yourself a bottle from Wine.com.

What do you do when your external drive has no more space? Buy a new one. That is exactly what I did. My Western Digital USB 2.0 External Hard Drive has finally been filled to capacity. I really do love my Western Digital drive, but I decided to try a new brand just to provide balance to our reviews.
So what did I buy? The Iomega 34270 USB 2.0 500GB Prestige Desktop Hard Drive. There are two elements of this external hard drive that I liked right away. The first is the cool silver exterior casing and the second is how lightweight the device is.
Features Include:
In the last week I’ve used this external hard drive for many projects. One project was to complete backup of my Dad’s computer hard drive. It copied over 40 gig’s of data in about an hour and a half. Then today, I was editing a bunch of video with my Pinnacle Studio 12 and I was working strictly off the Iomega 34270 External Hard Drive. I even used the hard drive as the destination drive to burn my DVD.
