Reversible baseball glove

Abstract

A baseball glove, usable by both right-handed and left-handed players, has two outer finger stalls, two intermediate finger stalls and a middle finger stall, at least the latter three stalls being integral with front and rear pieces of leather or similar sheet material held together by lacing which also links one of the outer stalls and the adjoining intermediate stall to an interposed web. The two outer stalls may be structurally identical, so as to receive either the thumb or the little finger of a player according to the latter's handedness, and may have downward extensions protectively overlying the player's palm. Alternatively, all five finger stalls may be integral with the two coextensive sheets to be selectively used as either the front or the back of the glove; the lacing in that case may be unitary but loose enough in places to allow flexing in one direction or the other, depending on which hand is inserted between one of these sheets and an intervening padding.
