    There are a few things you can do. Place a baseball in the center and wrap a rubber band around it tightly in the shape you want the glove to be (you would point the fingers out, in your case.) Rub the pocket linings with linseed oil or shaving cream. Do not use a heat duct or hair dryer if the glove gets wet - let it dry on it's own if it gets wet or it may crack. And obviously breaking it in yourself by playing catch or wearing it while you watch TV, etc. will help break it in also.

    Great Answer!
