batting gloves?

Date 1881
Text

George Wright will have to put his batting gloves on before the championship season opens, or he will woefully disappoint the expectations of his friends. Perhaps a little practice with the rest of the team, on days when there is no game, might help him. Boston Herald April 18, 1881

[See also, however, Boston vs. Cleveland 6/27/1881] Both clubs had on their batting boots today, and the pitchers were severely punished. Boston Herald June 28 [suggesting a metaphorical use]
