- emidln 9y agoI played baseball from 6 to 21 with 3 different gloves. I had a 4th backup glove that was my dad's glove from the late 70s (that I used in the early 2000s and was fine). The glove my parents bought the summer before my freshman year of high school is still fine to play catch with my daughter 16 years later. If I take care of it, I don't see any reason it would deteriorate beyond play for at least another 20 years. My current glove isn't special, just a standard Rawlings glove that I've kept oiled.
- passivepinetree 9y agoI played baseball from age 4 (well, T-ball) to age 18 with three gloves. One was a cheap plastic Mizuno that I started with. I graduated to a leather Wilson about two years after that, and then a couple of years later I bought a Nokona. I've been out of the sport for quite some time, but my Nokona is still going strong. It's still the glove I pull out to play catch with from time to time. Buying a quality glove is worth the investment. The good ones will last forever.
