Rawlings Introduces New Heart of the Hide Pro Mesh Series Gloves

We've been hard at work on our 2010 line of gloves and we're proud to announce the launch of our Heart of the Hide Pro Mesh gloves. Made from our world-renowned HOH leather and now with a lighter mesh back, these new gloves are the perfect combination of weight and performance. You'll see plenty of pros wearing this new design including former Cy Young winning pitcher Chris Carpenter of the St. Louis Cardinals. Let us know what you think of this new design!

Yadier Molina finally gets his first Rawlings Gold Glove!

Cardinals Catcher and member of Team Rawlings Yadier Molina was awarded his first Rawlings Gold Glove Award this past Monday at the Baseball Writers Association of America's annual dinner banquet. Yadier, known for his impressive skill behind the plate, had a tremendous year and is extremely deserving of this honor! Congrats Yadi!!!

Just to recap, managers and coaches of each Major League team select a squad of the best defensemen in their leagues, excluding their own teams. Rawlings does not select the winners.

Pro Preferred Gloves Get a New Look!

This year, we decided to take the Pro Preferred line to a new level! Made from premium Italian Bruciato and kip skin leather, the Pro Preferred 2-Tone gloves have a flawless look and a super-smooth feel. As the name suggests, these gloves are pro quality and feature some of the very best pro patterns. All models contain the strongest lace available (1oo lb. tensile strength), 100% wool padding and are lined with Pittards® Sheep Skin for comfort and softness.

We'd love to hear what you think of the new Pro Preferred 2-Tone gloves!!! Let us know.

Rawlings seems to be the glove of choice at this year's All-Star Game!
