Abstract: A web part comprises a lower-side web part provided on a pocket-part side of a glove and an upper-side web part provided on an opposite side relative to the pocket-part side. An extended part resulting from extension of a ball-receiving leather of a main body of the glove into between a thumb stall and a forefinger stall constitutes the lower-side web part. The lower-side web part is provided on a back side of the glove in comparison to a smoothly curved line which connects an intermediate point of the thumb stall in a thickness direction thereof and an intermediate point of the forefinger stall in a thickness direction thereof in a sectional surface in a lateral direction starting from the thumb stall, passing through the lower-side web part and reaching the forefinger stall.

Abstract: In a catching tool for baseball or softball, a lining leather including at least a back-side leather and a palm-side leather is inserted into a surface leather including at least a back leather and a ball-receiving leather, and the lining leather has inner-side finger stalls defined by peripheral edges of the back-side leather and the palm-side leather which are sewn together. A finger part stabilizing member is provided along at least a region on right and left sides in a region covering a root part through a fingertip part of a wearer's finger inside the inner-side finger stall. The finger part stabilizing member is provided in at least one of the inner-side finger stalls, which are an inner-side thumb stall, an inner-side forefinger stall, an inner-side middle finger stall, an inner-side fourth finger stall, and an inner-side little finger stall.

Abstract: A ball catching tool comprises an outer leather member, an inner leather member and an elastic member. The outer leather member is formed by sewing a leather palm and a leather back to each other. The inner leather member, inserted into the outer leather member, is formed by sewing a palm member located on the side of the leather palm and a back member located on the side of the leather back to each other and provided with a plurality of stalls including a thumb stall receiving the thumb of the user. The elastic member is fixed to the back member partially forming the thumb stall to extend along the back member from one end of the thumb stall toward the other end of the thumb stall in the width direction of the thumb stall for fixing the thumb of the user in the thumb stall.

Abstract: A glove for baseball or softball includes a thumb stall receiving a thumb, an index finger stall receiving an index finger, a middle finger stall receiving a middle finger, a ring finger stall receiving a ring finger, a little finger stall receiving a little finger, a back portion located on a back surface and covering the back of a hand, a web portion provided between the thumb stall and the index finger stall, and a hand inserting portion for inserting a hand into the glove. On the back surfaces of the index finger stall, the middle finger stall and the ring finger stall, thin leather portions are provided, which are curved toward the thumb stall on the back portion.

Abstract: A ball catching tool includes an outer leather member and an inner leather member inserted in the outer leather member. The inner leather member is formed by coupling a palm-side inner leather portion and a back-side inner leather portion to each other, and has a plurality of thumb and finger portions receiving the thumb and the fingers respectively. An interdigital extensional member is mounted on at least one portion between the bases of the finger portions. Thus, the extensional portion is provided between the bases of desired ones of the thumb and finger portions of the inner leather member for increasing the interval between the bases.

Abstract: A baseball ball catching implement has a name plate fitting of rubber or synthetic resin having elasticity affixed to a back member of the implement at any desired position. The implement includes a name plate removably fitted in the name plate fitting. The name plate fitting includes a frame member having a contour corresponding to that of a name plate. The frame member includes an annular inward ledge arranged to define an annular step for receiving and retaining the name plate at its periphery, an annular outward ledge at the top of the frame member and an annular base portion extending outwardly from the lower end of the frame member beyond the ledge. The ledge and the base portion define an outwardly opening annular recess therebetween arranged to receive an edge defining a hole in the back member of the baseball ball catching implement. The annular base portion and the back member are connected to each other by stitches or in any other suitable way.
