Keep it simple and easy to remember.

I don't know what kind of gloves these kids must be wearing, I've never seen a lodged ball in a glove yet in my 25+ years of calling.

ThanksDavid
David, it's those gloves with the waffle webs. If you don't maintain the lacing properly, the waffle stretches and a hard hit ball gets hung up pretty tight in there.

I've had one in ORB where F1 threw the whole shootin' match and got the out. That was my first and last (so far).
