What was the toledo mud hens 2005 roster i just need the players numbers i know all the players...?
I'm hoping you haven't already gotten this question answered, judging from the first post to this question, but I'll give my answer anyway.We always used to take our gloves and rub Crisco on the inside of it, then fold it up real real right and put a rubber band around it and just leave it like that for a good, long time, out in the sun too I think. There's really no set time I don't think, you can always check it and if it's not enough repeat the process.
Other than that, just play with it! And I'm hoping that "Heart of the Hide" is just a line of their gloves and not some special material, because I've never used or seen that specific kind of glove before. Hope this helps!

Oil it, Use it, these are givens.There is only one way to break in a new glove so that it is ready for use, and I'm sure some who have never done this will pan this method. But I guarantee it, and have actually been hired to do this several times.1)put a softball in the palm
2)use shoestrings to wrap the fingers around the ball, they all should curl around it .(don't worry if they overlap or what the glove looks like.
3)soak it in water (yes, I know. Just trust me)
4)let it get 90% dry, at room temp. (depending on leather quality, this may take 5-7 days)
5)untie strings & take the ball out. Place palm up on AC vent for 4hrs. then palm down for 4hrs.
6)apply Neetsfoot Oil (or Rawling Glove Oil) heavily, front & back (don't replace ball or strings) Repeat in 4hrs.
7)after 4 more hrs.apply thick layer of Vaseline. (front, back,laces, even poke some in the lace holes)
8)tie it around a ball again. If it's a long fingered glove put a ball in web also but still curl the fingers best you can.
9)repeat steps 7 & 8, once a day, for 3 days.
10) apply Saddle Soap to back only , Rewrap around ball.
In 24hrs. it's game ready
