It had to be done.

My main baseball glove has been the same for the last 30 years. I may have bought this one in Bloomington Indiana, when I played on a really good softball team. The guy who guarded Michael Jordan (an American basketball legend) when Indiana University beat North Carolina in the playoffs was on that team.
But a piece of leather in this glove actually broke recently. I have a backup glove, but I don't want to give up on this one, as it has a great pocket, so I actually used Gorilla Glue to fix the broken leather. Will it hold? Only time will tell.
Have you done any repairs to beloved objects recently?

@wolfgirl569 I guess I can view this as an experiment.

I have patched up a OSU Woody Hayes bobblehead when his "head" broke off. He doesn't bobble anymore 
Guess my surgery left the coach with a stiff neck 
Btw- I still have my high school baseball/softball glove. I use it to play catch in the yard from time to time. Of course, the glove was a bit stiff too from lack of use

@TheHorse i do. He was my all-time 3rd favorite IU player. Scotty May was my English teacher in highschool (favorite) and the coach came to where I worked in Bloomington and told us we were not allowed to serve Kent Benson any treats (2nd favorite)

I hope the glue holds. No, nothing to repair lately.

Nooooooo. I have not. Especially that involves gorilla glue and leather.

@TheHorse I think I remember you posting about that experience. Frame the glove if it won`t hold with glue, or you could get it repaired properly.

No; but I'm glad you were able to fix your glove. Hopefully the repair will hold.
