Ever wonder what it takes to “tan” a baseball glove?
Before that leather ever catches a fly ball, it goes through quite a journey.
One of the earliest steps can involve salt. Fresh hides are often treated with salt or brine to help preserve them before they reach the tanning process that transforms the hide into durable leather. From there, the leather is cut, shaped and stitched into something every baseball player knows well—the glove. And with the postseason about to get underway, those gloves are about to take center stage on baseball’s biggest stage.
The road to the 2026 World Series starts now—and we’ll be watching every catch, every out and every unforgettable play along the way.
Play ball!
