Tips for breaking in a Baseball Glove

I got a new baseball glove yesterday. How do I break it in? I know the best thing to do is play catch but is there anything else I can do? How long will it take to fully break in? How important is that oil stuff? I don't have any. Should I go buy some? I heard some people put the glove under the bed frame or something heavy like a car.

Use it...

There is a few ways to soften up a glove, of course the best way is to just use it. Another is to oil it, use baby oil, Vaseline, shaving cream, and they have special glove oils. Some people say oils can deteriorate your glove, and even make it heavier, I never experienced any of that. Another way is to heat it up, a couple of teammates use to do this, you can use a microwave, but they put there's in a oven which is perfectly fine, again people say it can deteriorate your glove....false. Another way to heat it up is to leave it in your vehicle on sunny day when the weather is warm. The last thing I could tell you to break a glove in if you don't want to do any of those is to just beat the hell out of it, stomp it, run it over a few times, beat it with a bat. Any of those will work just fine, but the best way is to just use it.

Catch some big ole balls in it.
