“ The Mother ofoPadded Gloves ”

For 27 years, she played ball. She is a two-time All-American fast pitch softball third-baseman, a former head and assistant softball coach, and she helped establish softball in the South American country of Peru. She loved the game, but didn’t love the pain. After experiencing permanent nerve damage from her years of playing, Carol Stanley took it upon herself to design a glove that would reduce painful contusions and bruising to the hand.

Today, she enjoys the satisfaction of knowing that major players protect their hands because of her determination and the unique design of Stash®. It’s no wonder the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown includes the Stash® glove as part of it’s permanent collection - it was the first to employ the use of padding in a batting style glove. Many players, like Johnny Estrada, think it’s just the best.

The only glove of its kind good enough to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame!
