| Abstract: |
An athletic glove to be worn by baseball batters (as well as other participants in bat, club and racquet sports) promotes proper gripping disposition of the handle portion of a baseball bat by providing a spacing member integrally airfixed to the crotch area of the palm of the glove body for engagement with the handle portion of the bat when gripped in the batter's hand so as to maintain the handle portion at a spacing from the palm of the hand and induce the batter to cradle the handle portion within the fingers.
