What is claimed is:
1. A glove for preventing injury to the thumb's ulnar collateral ligament comprising:
- a hand covering having a thumb portion,
- said thumb portion having a retaining means disposed at least in part on the radial side of said thumb portion,
- said retaining means comprising a ribbon,
- said ribbon being generally inelastic in the radial direction, and when the wearer's thumb is in place in said thumb portion of said glove, said ribbon is disposed to extend over the thumb's metacarpal phalangeal joint so as to generally immobilize the adjacent bones with respect to the joint in the radial direction whereby radial movement of the thumb which might injure the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb is prevented.
