A conventional baseball (softball) glove includes at least one layer of protective padding in the areas above and below the center axis of rotation of the metacarpalphalangeal joint of the index finger. Preferably, two layers of padding are used. One layer of padding is a slow release foam material and the other layer of padding is a foam rubber, neoprene, or other foamed elastomeric material. Additional protective padding may extend to the areas above and below the center axis of rotation of other joints of the index finger as well as joints of other fingers.
