SURPRISE, Ariz.
For baseball players, a glove is not just a tool of the game. It’s like an extension of their body.
They trust it. They depend on it. They expect for it to perform reliably and consistently.
And when they find that special glove they love, some of them don’t ever want to give it up — unless, of course, it betrays them.
“I did use a glove one time — I’m not going to say what glove it was — but I kicked a couple balls and I did blame it on the glove,” Royals pitching prospect Kyle Zimmer said.
