Abstract Ball player's gloves used in playing baseball, softball and similar sports are provided with an opening for insertion of the player's hand to manipulate the glove. A relatively short strap normally spans the opening to assist in holding the glove on the player's hand. The present invention provides an improvement in such gloves in which a relatively long strap is provided in place of the short strap. The long strap has one end attached to one side of the opening of the glove and a second opposite end detachably attachable to the other side of the opening. The longer strap has sufficient length so that it can be looped around the wrist of the player to secure the glove to the player so that the glove can be more readily manipulated and will not come off while it is being used.
In a ball player's glove having an opening for the insertion of the player's hand to manipulate the glove, improved means for holding the glove on the player's hand comprising a strap means having one end attached to one side of the opening and a second opposite end, and means for detachably attaching the second end of the strap means to the other side of said opening, said strap means having sufficient length to loop completely around the wrist of the player intermediate its ends to secure the glove to the player so that the glove will not accidentally come off the player's hand and the glove can be manipulated more easily.
