Abstract
A baseball or softball glove constructed to maintain the ball-catching pocket and to facilitate closure of the glove having an inverted V-shaped notch generally located at the center of the heel. The inverted V-shaped shaped notch assists in the opening and closing of the glove by creating a flex line extending up from the apex of the inverted V-shaped notch generally midway between the sides of the glove and through the ball-catching pocket.
