Wondering if anybody has any recommendations on the best cheap cheap cheap gloves out there.
I deal with a lot of kids from low-income families. My glove spiel to the new players is always "You don't need a $300 glove. Mine was 80 bucks at Dick's, and I love it. But don't go buy the plastic pink $20 glove from KMart." I also tell them to go to Play It Again Sports and look through their used gloves, since you can usually get a decent, already broken in glove for the same price you'd pay if you're going cheap.
Then they go and buy the KMart glove anyway.
So I decided to make a list of the best possible gloves for $60 or less and give that to my new players.
Mostly looking thinking for middle school/high school aged players, though suggestions for our new 10u players are welcome, too.
