It's a big kid glove.

Not a bad price even with the $5 shipping.

Retail for the newer model $30 + tax, here $18

Not sure where you get it's a small adult . . .it is a middle size glove, so it's appropriate for more positions. Typically only slow pitch softball gloves are that much larger.

Left handed? Left out.

Woot's fulla handists, huh? No Lefties allowed, huh? I get it! You won't have this southpaw to push around no mo.

Ah ha! Depends on your position.

This is an outfielder glove (open webbing to see fly balls and a deep pocket).

Derek Jeter wears an 11 1/2" glove at shortstop.

Thanks. I went to the size chart and this is an adult glove. Good price.

In for 1. Wasn't smart enough to buy two of the Rawlings a few months back. Since anyone I would want to play catch doesn't always have a glove I figured I should have two. Makes it easy for tailgating. Now to just go find a non-autographed ball around here....

No love for the lefties

That's not the same glove pictured here. No checkered webbing on the one shown here, for example. I tried entering all sorts of variations of the model number on Google and couldn't find any sales or review of this glove anywhere.

Well my 2 year old is fascinated with baseball and I have no idea if I even have my old glove. In for 1 for years on playing catch with my boy!

This is an outfielders glove, infield gloves are smaller because for the most part you field grounders, extra glove gets in the way. If anything you could use this at first base. Also, no lefty gloves is not cool Woot -_-

Shesh, people - woot sells what they have available. Stop whining about no lefty gloves - it's not like some big conspiracy against southpaws launched from a Woot boardroom.

Oh but it is...it is...

This is a good all-around, multi-position glove for high schoolers and adults. As pointed out above, only slow-pitch gloves are much bigger. Also, it's a name-brand glove, not some plastic china cheepie. If you're playing so competitively you know you need a glove 1/2" smaller for an infielder, then get a different glove. This will last for decades of playing rec ball, or catch in the backyard. I'm buying a new one cuz my old Wilson glove's finally losing its stitching (from the 70's). Can't beat the price!

Don't blame us for your handicap.

Is this on Amazon?

Anyone with some softball experience with a glove like this?

I play 1st base in a beer and whiskey league, and my current glove kills my palm.

Decent palm padding on this one?

wondering why the MLB logo on the palm says "staff"?

did woot manage to get their hands on gloves that were meant for MLB employees? (and i don't mean players)

This has the same padding as the glove that's hurting your palm now, the only gloves with extra padding are catchers mitts and dedicated first basemans gloves. If you don't want to spend big bucks for a 1B glove, they sell pads you can insert under the glove or just stuff a kitchen sponge in there. You might just need a bigger glove for softball, you're trying to catch in the web. Try a 13 and over.

Best. Writeup... Pretty Much Ever.

Catching it the web would be nice, but in the late innings of a "beveraged" game I just pray it doesn't fly past the glove and strike my face.

A better idea is just to wear a batting glove while using the glove.

Odd,you don't sound like a ballplayer,are you from England?

No lefty. BOOOO!!

Where can i select left or right hand glove??

Many people saying no lefty! Okay do you mean there are no left handed gloves or no right handed gloves? and where where do you see other than looking at the picture if its a left or right?? Come Woot shed some light here. I'll be in for two left handed gloves!

This is an adult glove. Per MLB rules, the glove worn by a fielder can be no larger than 12 inches from tip of any finger, through pocket to the bottom edge or heel.

Lefties throw left. This is a left sided glove for people who throw right. This glove is therefore for righties.

A lefty glove is worn on the right hand so the fielder can throw with their left hand. The picture is of a righthander's glove and there is no other option.
If you're looking for a glove that goes on your left hand then you're in for two.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking! My son is 21 months, and I'm sure there will be plenty of catch over the years.. Plus someday the Pirates might make the post season (-gasp- possibly this year!), and me and him will definitely need to bring gloves to the park "just in case".

In for 1.
