Glove Experts
Question for all the baseball fielding glove experts, is it possible to have a glove relaced? Looking at some fielding gloves that seem to have identical markings but different laces and curious if this is a possibility? Would players go to that extreme if they had a glove they wanted to keep using?

Yes gloves are relaced quite often, I've seen a players laces get broken on a play and him hand it over to the clubhouse guy and end up using the glove the next day with new laces.

Re: Glove Experts
Would this be an example of a relaced glove? The webbing is entirely different in the two photos, but the gloves appear to be the same one.

I remember seeing a story about JT Snow talking about how he had the lacing on his 1B mitt replaced several times because he really liked used it for several years. I will see if I can track it down.
