Ossie Bluege, veteran third baseman of the Washington Senators, is said to have the largest pair of hands in baseball, a great advantage in playing the infield for the reason that a broad palm and long finger makes a larger "basket". Yet many able infielders in the game have small hands and stubby fingers and make up, in quickness of eye and coordination, what they lack in natural baseball hands. Above all pick a glove that is suited to your type of hand and though it may seem stingy, do not lend that glove to other players, who may alter the pocket and spoil its effect for your needs.
