Abstract:
A baseball glove, comprising:a plurality of rows of arc-shaped cuts formed on an inner surface of thumb and finger sections of the glove by regularly, repeatedly and shallowly cutting the inner surface of said thumb and finger sections to form grooves and ridges, said rows of cuts being oriented along a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the thumb and finger sections, said grooves of the cuts being inclined toward the finger tips of the glove, thus allowing each of the ridges to have an arc shape curved toward a palm of the glove and to be raised up from a skin of the glove so as to brake a rotating action of a ball in addition to preventing an expected slipping of the ball out of the glove when catching the ball, and wherein each of said arc-shaped cuts is not longer than 2 cm, with intervals between the cuts in each row and intervals between the rows of cuts being not wider than 1 cm.
