Wasn't there something about this in that film Good Will Hunting?

I did the running over it thing, worked pretty well! I have a sweet Mizuno glove, it fits me like a...uh, well.....a glove.

None of tricks make it seem genuinely "used," but they sure help. My last new glove got the neatsfoot oil treatment and I wrapped it tightly with a ball inside when not in use. It sped up the break-in process immensely.

I have discovered that the only way to soften one up is to use it. Based on my own experience, I can tell you that none of the "tricks" actually work

Oil it up and bake it, then use it a lot.

Nothing is ever something.

Put neatsfoot oil on it, tie a ball in it and run over it with your car.

I buy my baseball gloves from second-hand (literally!) stores. Nice and soft already!

Bake it a German Chocolate cake. Then while you're eating it, tell it how lovely it is.



Sorry, all the other answers were taken.

Oil it, put a ball in the glove, and then put it under a bed matress or sofa cushion.

Olive oil. Buried in the backyard clay for approx. 2 nights.
