Leather is a material that can dry out, crack, and break; the outside of a baseball glove is comprised entirely of leather and leather laces.  The leather laces hold the baseball glove and hold the glove’s fingers together, which are the main part of the glove used to catch the ball.  The lace, which holds the fingers together, can become stretched and loose requiring it to be replaced.
