Abstract
Representative embodiments of the present technology include a ball glove having a plurality of finger stalls and a thumb stall, in which connecting lacing for at least some of the finger stalls is only between the finger stalls or on a back side of the finger stalls, such that the ball glove has limited (or no) lacing projecting into the catching area (the front/palm side of the glove) that can snag a player's hand or other object during play.
