  • Batting glove with internal padding
    Patent number: 6721960
    Abstract: A batting glove is disclosed, wherein the glove includes a base portion and a protective portion attached to the interior of the base portion and located between the base portion and a wearer's hand. The protective portion includes a material that attenuates impact forces and dampens vibrations associated with hitting a baseball or softball with a bat. Protection is achieved through placement of padding on the palmar surface of the joints connecting the phalanges with the metacarpals and on the palmar surface of the first, second and fifth digits. The shock-absorbing padding may be absent in areas of the palmar surface of the third and fourth digits.
