This always surprised me.
I know nothing of the construction of baseball gloves but it seems to me that it would be harder and more expensive to make one of out what appears to a plastic that is supposed to resemble leather? And then have it assembled and stitched together by criminally disinterested children on the other side of the planet and then shipped here so our children could wear them with shame.
And yet...here we are. I had one too.
You could practically watch the thing gradually come apart in real-time every time you caught a ball.
