A Brief History of Batting Gloves - Relentless Sports
It's always an intriguing thought to imagine everyday items being used in the past, especially in the case of sports. An 1881 reference in the Detroit Free Press once grabbed baseball historians with the statement: "The Detroits put on their batting gloves yesterday and won another game." Though it's fun to think that batters were using some form of a glove well over a century ago, this is most likely a reference to cricket rather than baseball. By 1890, it had become commonplace for cricketers to use gloves. At that time, fielding gloves/mitts weren’t even used in baseball—so it would be pretty strange for batting gloves to be around. While not commonly used at that time for baseball players, one can only imagine Victorian-era baseball players engaging some form of steampunk leather gauntlets to protect their hands while at bat.
