A baseball glove is the dusty badge of belonging, the tanned and oiled mortar of team and commaraderie; in its creases and scuffs lodge sunburned afternoons freckled with thrills, the excited hum of competition, cheers that burst like skyrockets.
A baseball glove is Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Stan Musial, Mickey Mantle and a thousand and one names and moments strung like white and crimson banners in the vast stadium of memory.
A baseball glove is the leather of adventure, worthy successor to the cowboy's holster, the trooper's saddle and the buckskin laces of the frontier scout; it is combat, heroics, and victory...a place to smack a fist or snuff a rally.
Above all, a baseball glove is the union of father and son, boy and friends, man and men; it is union beyond language, creed or color.

How long should the rawlings pro preferred baseball glove last?
If you take care of it, the glove should last you between 3-5 years. I play college ball, so I use it pretty much every day and my Rawlings Pro Preferred glove is showing little signs of wear. People that I play with have been using the same glove all four or five of their college careers and their gloves look almost flawless (aside from dirt and regular wear and tear). If you don't take care of the glove, it will still last you at least 2 years.
