Paul SI remember my father taking me to BIG 5 sporting goods in LA. He bought me a Rawling's Brooks Robinson Model XPG17 -- lefthander version believe it or not (I'm a southpaw) -- for $20, big bucks in those days. I used it to play catch with him as well as games with my friends. That glove later sat in a box for years. Then, when I began playing adult softball I took it out, and a friend told me I could send it to Rawlings, and for a small fee they relaced and reformed it and gave it a nice general tune-up. I'll bet they still do that. Now, on the rare occasion my son wants to play catch, that's what I use.
Jason -- my son's the same with soccer...travel team and all that stuff. Baseball is once in a great while.
