A baseball glove is provided wherein the index finger of the wearer of the baseball glove is protected from being damaged by the opening edge of the glove even in the event that the glove is used with the index finger of the wearer of the glove projecting outside of the backside of the glove. The baseball glove includes a finger protecting strip in the glove body for contacting an inner surface of a proximal end portion of a finger which projects outside from an opening portion formed in the backside of the glove body. The finger protecting strip is also for guidance into an inside of the glove body when the wearer of the glove is placing the glove on his/her hand.
