Most people really don't know how to break gloves in. The old fold it like an airplane and throw it between a bed isn't really the best way to go. Their idea of a broke in glove is a lose floppy glove which is not what you want. With him being 8 just moving it around in your hand should soften it up enough for him to be able to squeeze it. But him not being able to squeeze it well will make him have to use both hands which is what you want.

As far as good gloves the upper end Wilson and Rawlings are probably the best out but they're high. I never liked Nokona they were big and heavy. They may have changed things in the last few years but I didn't like them at all when I played. Most everyone I played with in college used the good wilson and Rawlings. They're good quality and will last. They may be worth it when he gets a litt older but not necessary right now. They won't make you a better player but they're not priced like they are for nothing, they're made and designed well and many of them feel real well on your hand so they do help.
