Wilson is really easy to break in and it is comfortable on the hand and it has lasted me five years, so i am fairly certain your son or daughter couldn't do any damage to it. Wilson is also fairly inexpensive if you buy their smaller gloves. As for a cheap T-ball glove at target, it depends on how long it will be used. If it will just be used for T-ball and then she decides not to play anymore then it would be perfect. But if she is serious about playing you might want to get her a nicer one, seeing as those cheap ones do not break in at all. I really love Wilson.

Any brand is fine, and a middle of the road size is 12" (for an adult player). Just make sure it's not a really cheap crappy plastic glove, those will just break down very quickly.

There are many different types of gloves depending on position. But when it comes down to it, infielders and pitchers gloves are shorter, and outfielders gloves are a little longer. Pitchers gloves MUST have a closed web. A closed web refers to the pocket that the ball goes into when the ball is caught. Why a closed pocket? Cuz the pitcher grips the ball differently depending on which type of pitch he'll throw (curve, slider, fastball), and if he has an open pocket, the batter may see how his hands are gripping the ball. Open pocket glove: http://www.prosportsmemorabilia.com/Images/Product/33-35/33-35537-F.jpg Closed pocket glove: http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/detail/44/95/22189544.jpg I recommend this at first glance: http://www.ballglovewarehouse.com/products/detail_view.asp?i=5894 But any GOOD/REAL leather, short 10.5 inch to 11.75 inch glove, closed pocket, lightweight glove should work. Remember a few notes: a serious pitcher doesn't want extra weight on his opposite hand of throwing, he doesn't want something that'll throw off his balance (a big/long glove), he does want a short one so that its easy to pull the ball out quickly if he gets the ball hit back at him, and a closed web to protect the ball. Spending at least $100 should bring you something lightweight with good leather. GREAT QUESTION. There are many different types of gloves depending on position.
