Has anyone used a local company for a complete re-string of a first basemans mitt? Where and how much? |

We use a local shoe repair guy in Alpharetta. He will not only restring but will also polish the leather up and make it look new. $15.00. He just sewed my son's catchers mitt pocket back together also. He is on State Bridge Rd. next to Luciano's. |

if you are in the marietta/roswell/sandy plains area go to the kroger shopping center at the corner of shallowford and johnson ferry. there is a shoe repair place that does this work. tightening is ten bux; restring is 20 and leather clean/condition is an extra ten. we've used him multiple times and he has always does the work in 2 days or less. |

Hurricane, I have two options for you in the Woodstock area. Not sure what local is to you.
1) Fitzgeralds Sports www.fitzgeraldssports.com Bradley Fitzgerald 2) Wes Lecroy at First Baptist Woodstock Wellness and Rec Dept. 770-926-4428
Both of these guys work with the Gloves 4 God Program and repair countless gloves for donation to the Dominican Republic. Fitzgeralds manufactures gloves and baseballs at exceptional prices and quality. Wes is a former player at KSU and both guys know gloves and repair them correctly. If you donate an old glove they will repair most gloves at half the cost.

I want to 2nd this recommendation. I took my sons glove there last week and the guy did an outstanding job. He had to take out the existing stitching, replace a fastener, and then restitch the glove. It looks brand new!!
