Pinckard Baseball Gloves and
Baseballs selling to schools, colleges, Major and Minor Leagues of Professional
Baseball since 1963.
Bill Pinckard played 12 years of professional baseball and 2 years in the
Japanese Major Leagues.
 Pinckard changed the baseball in America in 1963 from horsehide to cowhide
covers, upgraded the wool content from 85% blue gray yarn for all #1 baseballs
to 100% virgin white wool and created the high seamed baseball on his Pinckard
baseballs.
The baseball that swept America in schools in late 1977 until today under
another company name, was the Pinckard designed baseball.
THERE IS NO BETTER BASEBALL GLOVE MADE BY ANYONE.
If Pinckard can make the best baseball on the market, he certainly can make a
baseball glove as good or better than his competitors. Save BIG $$, buy a

THE LITTLE KNOWN SECRET OF THE
BASEBALL USED TODAY
In 1963 the baseball design
that had been used in America for over 100 years was changed from horsehide to a
more durable cowhide cover. The yarn was changed from 85% blue/gray to 100%
white virgin wool (for #1 grade ball), allowing the ball to retain its shape
better. Also in '63 the raised seam baseball was introduced allowing more
controlled pitching, especially for curve balls.
These changes set the standard for specifications later adopted by the NCAA for
all tournaments and the College World Series games. These changes were made by
a USA minor league ballplayer, nicknamed in '55/56 the 'Marco Polo' of Japanese
baseball, when he was a pioneer Caucasian American player on a Japanese team.
The innovator responsible, Bill Pinckard, designed, implemented the manufacture,
and marketed the changes incorporated in the modern baseball in 1963. Because
sporting goods stores at that time would not buy baseballs made in Japan,
Pinckard initiated selling directly to schools & teams (soon other vendors
followed his lead). Now, Pinckard has created a line of baseball gloves second
to none
Presently, Pinckard Baseball Gloves designs and markets gloves equal or superior
to the pro gloves of the top three glove company's #1 gloves and is comparable
in quality to gloves in sporting stores selling for $300 plus.
