Best stores for glove shopping in SoCal?

[Hollow Grind]

While conditioning DD's glove yesterday I noticed it's falling apart from the inside. I decided to stop by Sports Chalet to check out new gloves last night and the pickings were slim. Big 5 and Sports Authority seem to cater to beginners, and there's no privately owned sporting good stores nearby.

If you were glove shopping, where would you go in the IE/OC/LA area? I'm looking for higher quality gear with a big selection of gloves to try on. I figure I could tack on a visit to a store worth visiting on the way home from a weekend friendly/tourney.

Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions!

Check out Monkey sports in Irvine.

Hands down best anywhere...

Bagger Sports in Valencia near Magic Mountain. It's a Mom and Pop but those guys have everything and if they don't can get it. Definately worth the drive. Ask for Hector he is the glove guy and the owner.

It's like a candy store for Softball/baseball people!!

For IE there is Kens Sporting Goods in Norco. Small Mom and Pop that has pretty good in store selection of gear but can definately get what ever you need. Monkey Sports is great as well, one of their main warehouses is in Corona and you can usually will call items there as well.

If you're looking for custom try Soto gloves or newer company Diaz Gloves

Good Luck

Monkey Sports is the name of the brick and mortar stores for homerunmonkey.com. If you're interested in anything on the website, call the Irvine store to see whether they have it in stock. If they don't, they can usually get it the next day so you can look at it.

Sports USA in Laguna Hills usually has better quality gear than the general sporting goods chains.

MonkeySports in Irvine hands down. Biggest selection to try on before ordering off eBay.

I didn't know they have a physical store because I didn't see any mention of it on the Cheap Bats website. It appears the store is at the Home Run Park batting cages on Beach Blvd in Anaheim.
