Types of gloves
Pre Oiled Glove- Louisville Slugger Omaha Pro 1275
Non Oiled Glove- Wilson a777 Series Glove
Hypothesis- We hypothesize that the pre-oiled glove would be faster to break in.
Research Paper
Pre-oiled baseball glove leather is treated with glove oil before the glove is made making it already part way broken in. But it will take extra time to get it game ready. Pre-oiled gloves are usually heavier. They take less time to break in but it is not as durable. We are using a TPX Omaha pro 12.75 inch glove as our pre-oiled cowhide leather, so that makes it more durable. But the pre oiled ball gloves are baseball glove. It is a steer hide leather glove. Steer hide is heavier and thicker than regular usual
Non pre-oiled baseball gloves are heavier than none oiled ball gloves, so if you want a lighter glove this would be a bad choice more stiff when you get them and is supposed to take more time to break in than a pre-oiled ball glove. It is supposed to be more durable and will last longer than a pre-oiled baseball glove. The glove we are using for the non pre-oiled one is the Wilson A777 12 inch baseball glove. It is made of full grain cowhide leather. Cowhide is thinner and lighter than steerhide gloves.
It is hard to tell how long it would take to break in a baseball glove because there are many different tricks people use to break in a baseball glove. Some of the tricks are to rub oil on it, put it in the oven, put shaving cream on it, tie up a baseball in the palm of the glove and tie it up and then sleep on it.
Before you try to break in a glove first you need to make sure to put some glove oil on a rag and rub it on the glove so the strings don't crack but be careful not to put too much on or it will damage ...
... middle of paper ...
...n take 10 pop flies with it record how many hours it took you to break in the glove repeat all steps for the other glove
Now you should know what glove you should get if you want to play right away!!!!
conclusion
Our results contradict our hypothesis because we thought the pre-oiled glove would break in faster but the non pre-oiled glove broke in faster. For the independent variable we are using different types of gloves so the dependent variable is the amount of time it would take to break in the glove.
Things we think we could have changed was if we had more baseball gloves so we could have had more a more accurate time.

High tech aluminum baseball bats aren’t quite as new to the game as many people may think. Author, Patrick Hruby, wrote in Sports Illustrated, “introduced in the mid-1970’s… metal bats have become increasingly potent, forged with alloys… pressurized air chambers” (Hruby 42). Over the last few decades these aluminum ‘killer bats’ have evolved to be even more potent. “Some coaches and players claim these powerful bats are ruining the integrity of the game and placing pitchers at undue risk” (42). Every college, divisions I through III, are using these bats religiously. Each year bigger and better bats are at each team’s fingertips. A few of the more popular bats this year are the TPX C555 Platinum, TPX Omaha, and the EASTON Redline, just to name a few. These bats are so advanced that almost everything about them has changed, for instance, “…an
I’m sure some people have never really taken a closer look in the extraordinary world of softball. I'm certain that not too many people have gotten to know who invented softball,how you play,ruled or maybe what is the ball made of. In these few pages you can take a better look into the world of softball.
When asked to name great hitters, fans would probably mention the likes of Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, and Ted Williams. It would not come as a surprise if they forgot to include the Georgia Peach, Ty Cobb, on their list. The reason for their forgetfulness stems from the era in which Cobb played. Beginning his career in 1905, Cobb played baseball through the period dubbed “the dead ball era.” During this era (1900-1919), players hit marginally fewer homeruns than players from other eras. The reason for this homerun shortage resulted from the baseball used at the time. Indeed, the ball had no life. Loosely wound, one baseball often served throughout an entire game. Moreover, larger ball fields also kept the homerun totals down (“1900-1919”). Legal pitches also included the spitball, a terrib...
Pitching overhand is a particularly stressful motion; the strain it puts on a player's joint is commonly injurious. Pitchers such as Kerry Wood, Matt Morris, John Smoltz, Mariano Rivera, Tom Gordon, and Eric Gagne all have a four inch scar on their pitching arms as evidence of this career saving surgery.
Albert G. Spalding created the first major league baseball glove. “Wearing a glove just wasn’t manly” said Smithsonian. It used to be that the strongest player on the field was whoever had the most broken fingers or blisters, but after a while, players realised they

Baseball is not a difficult game to comprehend, but it can a very long time to achieve a high level of performance. Usually one starts playing this game at a very young age and the first thing they start out with is throwing. Throwing a baseball involves exploiting all major muscle groups in the body to generate a large torque on the arm that will in turn create a high potential for speed when it is released.
Here is a scary thought. Every single pitcher that plays baseball no matter his age generates enough force to rupture the ulnar collateral ligament on every single pitch. There are some misconceptions though to the after part of the sur...

This game of a stick and ball has captivated the United States during good and bad times. In either time most of us today can remember stories of players from the late 1800’s to early 1900’s.

Most people don’t think of baseball as a high risk injury sport. Unlike football, hockey or boxing, baseball seems tame in comparison. While it’s true that baseball is not a high contact sport, a variety of injuries can occur to the players in virtually every part of the players body but most notably in the shoulder; some of these injuries can be career ending.
A person can perform these daily activities, and not even know they are hurting themselves until it is too late. To understand why tennis elbow can be so painful you need a deeper look into what structures make up the elbow and how it can become inflamed.
Artificial Intelligence, also known as AI, allows a machine to function as if the machine has the capability to think like a human. While we are not expecting any hovering cars anytime soon, artificial intelligence is projected to have a major impact on the labor force and will likely replace about half the workforce in the United States in the decades to come. The research in artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly at an unstoppable rate. So while many people feel threatened by the possibility of a robot taking over their job, computer scientists actually propose that robots would benefit a country’s efficiency of production, allowing individuals to reap the benefits of the robots. For the advantage of all, researchers and analysts have begun to mend the past ideas of human-robot interaction. They have pulled inspiration from literary works of Isaac Asimov whom many saw as the first roboticist ahead of his time, and have also gotten ideas of scholarly research done by expert analysts. These efforts have began to create an idea of a work force where humans and robots work together in harmony, on a daily basis.
