Glove Whisperer Comes To Danbury

The Danbury Museum & Historical Society welcomes The Glove Whisperer from noon to 6 pm on Thursday, July 19.

Mason Jenkins, better known as The Glove Whisperer, is taking appointments to help ball players get their baseball and softball gloves ready for play.

The Glove Whisperer’s all natural conditioning process is proprietary and environmentally green as it does not use any chemicals, oils, or other compounds that effect the durability of the glove or harm the player. Jenkins has successfully conditioned fielders, first base, and catchers gloves from most manufactures. Other glove conditioning processes rely upon chemicals, high heat, microwave, or other time consuming processes that are often harmful to the glove, actually robbing the player of both performance and durability.

Since its beginning several years ago, parents and players at every level from professional to pre-high school have embraced the Glove Whisperer’s process of accelerated glove conditioning. New and old gloves arrive at the workshop from all over the United States. Conversations and testimonials indicate that the players who lack strength at beginner and intermediate stages are in real need of total glove flexibility. This helps inspire the player by giving them incredible physical benefits and unlimited psychological advantages.

Reservations for an appointment may be made by calling the museum at 203-743-5200. Admission is free, however, pricing for the Glove Whisperer’s service depends on the model and condition of the glove. Go to www.glovewhisperer.com for more information. Be sure to check out the exhibit during your visit.

This event is in conjunction with the 2012 Summer/Fall exhibit Covering All the Bases: A Pictorial History of Danbury Baseball, running through October  26. 

The museum’s calendar is full of events and programs being held during the run of the exhibit, including a talk about The History of Baseball in America, presented by Dan Wolinsky on Saturday, August 4 at 2 pm, and A Visit from Babe Ruth on Saturday, August 18 at 2 pm. Both of these events are free and open to the public.
