Lighted glove

I was doing a 10U rec league game by myself last night. After several batters I notice that when F4 punches her fist in her glove, lights flash just like the sneakers. I searched this forum and did not find any reference to this type of glove. Has anyone seen this before?

I have seen them before, I was teaching a baseball clinic to 5-7 y/o and there was a brother and sister in the class with gloves like that. I thought it was the strangest thing.

I bought my 6 yr old daughter one. She thinks it's great. I have never seen one on a field.

Well, it's inevitable, so I just as well start.

Is this a distraction to the batter if a pitcher illuminates the lights during the windup?

Does it have wheels on the bottom?

What's next? One that sings like Billy Bass?

I still like my Hot Moms indicator better.

I talked to the Parks & Rec Director last night and the fielder's coach tonight. We all agreed that it is a distraction for batters. We also agreed that since it has lights it also has plastic or glass and if the lights break that could be dangerous for the fielder and for runners, especially for this age group. I won't be seeing it any more.

I am quite sure blinking lights on a glove would not be something I could handle. If I run across one, its going away.

Yeah, we can't allow any equipment that has plastic in it on the field. You know, like batting helmets, catcher's helmets, bat ends, game-face type fielder's face guards, sunglasses, perscription glasses, ... all that dangerous stuff has to go.

You guys are making WAAAAAY too much of this. No self-respecting kid over 10 would use one of these things.



It comes in blue and pink. The lighting effect is only in the pocket and only when hit by the ball. You know... AFTER the batter has swung! And, it can be turned off.

It is marketed for T-ball players. So some 10 year old thinks it is cute. Big deal.

That thing so much as blinks and that 10 y/o is ejected.

Wade, you might wait to see if the kid's mom registers on your indicator...

So this comment from the e-bay site previously noted is inaccurate:

Web lights up with "chasing lights" whenever the ball is caught.

Yes, it is inaccurate. That is the exact model my 6 yr old wanted. Outside of the web lights up. She thinks it's the greatest glove ever - Lights up; favorite color; left handed.

If you see it on a ball field (I highly doubt it), and if it bothers you, just have the player push the on/off button.

Problem solved.
