The first recorded instance of any player using a Baseball glove was in Cincinnati in 1869, when Red Stockings player Doug Allison had a glove made for him by a local saddle maker. At that time, however, it was considered "unmanly" for players to seek protection for one's hands and the use of a glove was considered a sign of weakness. It would not be until the late 1870's - 1880's when gloves became widely accepted.
