Blank Bros Glove Co. serves the Tri-Valley — Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Livermore, and Danville — with professional baseball and softball glove break-in, cleaning, conditioning, relacing, and full restoration. This is one of the most competitive travel-ball regions in the Bay Area, and the inland heat is genuinely hard on leather. We handle both by mail: ship your gamer to our Northern California shop and it comes back conditioned, relaced, and game-ready, return shipping included.
Travel-ball country
Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Livermore, and Danville make up one of the busiest youth and travel-baseball corridors in Northern California — loaded tournament schedules, showcase teams, and year-round training. That means a lot of high-end gloves getting a lot of reps. When a competitive Tri-Valley player is running a $250–$400 gamer, a relace or restoration is the obvious call over breaking in a stiff new glove mid-season.
Inland heat dries leather out
The Tri-Valley’s summers are hot and dry — Livermore and Pleasanton regularly push past 100°F. That heat pulls moisture straight out of leather, and a dried-out glove gets stiff, loses its feel, and cracks at the flex points while the laces turn brittle and snap. It’s the opposite problem from the foggy coast, and it’s just as fixable. Regular conditioning is the fix, and a full clean and condition revives leather that’s already dried out.

Premium gloves, restored right
We see a lot of Wilson A2000s and Rawlings Heart of the Hide gloves out of the Tri-Valley travel scene — premium leather built to be restored and handed down. Fresh laces, a proper clean and condition, and a re-break bring a gamer back to life without losing the shape you already trust.

What we do
The offseason relace rush
Tri-Valley travel players know the drill: relace and restore between seasons so your gamer is fresh when the next tournament run starts. Beat the spring rush — send it in over the offseason. See how mail-in works → or check what a relace costs.
Frequently asked questions
Do you repair baseball gloves in the Tri-Valley?
Yes. We serve Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Livermore, and Danville with break-in, cleaning, conditioning, relacing, and full restoration. It works by mail, with return shipping included.
Does the Tri-Valley heat really damage my glove?
Yes. Summers here regularly top 100°F, and that dry heat pulls moisture out of leather — the glove stiffens, cracks at the flex points, and the laces turn brittle. Regular conditioning prevents it, and a clean-and-condition can revive leather that’s already dried out.
Can you restore a travel-ball player’s A2000 or Heart of the Hide?
Absolutely. Premium gloves are built to be restored. We relace, clean, condition, and re-break them so a competitive Tri-Valley player keeps the gamer they trust — about $95 versus $250–$400 to replace.
When should I send my glove in?
The offseason is ideal — send it in between seasons so it’s fresh and broken in for the next tournament run, and you beat the spring rush.
Do I drop it off or mail it in?
You mail it in. Ship your glove to our Northern California shop and we send it back game-ready with return shipping included — no storefront to drive to.
