Best glove for 3rd base?!?!?

most reputable baseball companies make a quality glove as long as you buy one of their upper end ones. That means most likely $100+, but not necessarily the $250 ones. As far as third base, a smaller outfielder's glove would work decently, if you can find a 12" one I'd say that's about right, give or take a half inch. You don't want too small or large of a glove at third, but somewhere in between. I've had rawlings and mizunos and liked them both, but my favorite glove was a mizuno with a modified basket weave, 12.25". I played mostly center and left throughout high school and club ball in college, but it would work fine for 3rd as well, kinda large for SS or 2nd but could make it work if necessary. But if you can try some on and see which one you like (remembering break-in will take a good while with a quality glove), and it's a fairly decent one from any of the companies you mentioned (in addition nike, demarini, others) it's hard to go wrong, it'll probably last you till you give up baseball or go pro...
