Abstract
Ball player's gloves used in playing baseball, softball and similar sports are provided with an opening for insertion of the player's hand to manipulate the glove. A relatively short strap normally spans the opening to assist in holding the glove on the player's hand. The present invention provides an improvement in such gloves in which a relatively long strap is provided in place of the short strap. The long strap has one end attached to one side of the opening of the glove and a second opposite end detachably attachable to the other side of the opening. The longer strap has sufficient length so that it can be looped around the wrist of the player to secure the glove to the player so that the glove can be more readily manipulated and will not come off while it is being used.
