| | Is Baseball Gear Any Safer Today?Written by Ken Austin
Baseball is at 150 years old, one of most popular spectator sports in United States. How have such conditions like technology, economic resources, a need for higher standards for safety and protection, make basic baseball gear better? Let’s first define: what is typical or basic baseball gear? The first is basic baseball. In past baseballs were single pieces of hand stitched, stuffed leather. Today’s modern version baseball is modern hardballs, which are technologically made to exact specifications. Another old baseball gear is bat. Bats today are more precisely carved and crafted from different materials: woods such as ash, maple, metal like aluminum, and even bamboo. No longer is this basic baseball gear made from tree limbs and wagon tongues. Even simple fielder’s glove, another baseball gear basic, has undergone changes. Today there is now a wider selection. There are even gloves made for women fielders! You can pick buffalo leather or "Full-Grain" leather which is made out of cow hide leather on which entire natural grain remains. For new players or occasional baseball players, fielders’ gloves made out of pigskin will do. While it is less durable compared to cowhide, it is more flexible.
