I would just conditioner with your conditioner of choice. I would test your conditioner on the thumb laces first and let it dry for 24 hrs and see if the laces darken before doing the whole glove.
Another option is the Rawlings pro 208 horween from ballgloves.com

You got the sbf ot exclusive 1781 as your mystery glove? Lol. Wilson lost the right to the MLB logo a few years ago. Chad is/was looking for an ot 1781.
Talk to your manager and ask him to let you play 2nd for 1 game. If he won't budge, I would play with that team as a catcher for the season, after the season is over, don't return to that league.
The majority of bats manufacturers like Miken, worth, Easton, monsta, demarini are made in China, where in China, no body now. I don't think any bats are made in the USA anymore.
how about the wilson sp125, it's a 12.5 makes for slowpitch. i think chad might have a dark chocolate sp125 smu coming out soon; or you can google ebasedloaded, they have 3 smu sp125 model that you can choose from. Good luck.
