I promise you, you wont do more damage to it. I'm going to assume that thing is dry rotted to some form. First step, get some Vaseline and massage the glove to try and get some moisture back in to it and soften it up. Use about a quarter sized amount for the whole glove and work it inside out. If you want, you can send me pic via DM of the glove.
Edit- Also, I think you're going to appreciate the sentimental value of doing this yourself especially with how much you seem to care about it.

Sorry for being pedantic, but what are your goals for the glove? Having a professional leatherworker restore it would be kind of silly to me.

The only hard part, really, is the re-lacing of the glove, which wouldn't go to a leather worker anyways.

Big thing is how harsh cold weather is on natural gas.

Reply to U.S. hospitals are required to publish their prices for medical procedures now, so my friends and I collected around 2 million prices from 33 hospitals in Maryland and created a search engine where anyone can see how much they may be charged.

Just a reminder to always ask for itemized receipts when asked to pay for anything not included in the insurance

Valley view is nice and all, fun to walk through and see ornaments, but their tree prices are wack.

Theres something beautiful about Choptank consistently getting dumped on.
20 Bucks for 8 wings is criminal.

Its wild how awful everything we were told as kids is for gloves.
I have two gloves. One I got in high school that I followed all the "old age" tricks for and one that I learned better from. My college baseball glove is over 10 years old now and its in mint condition.
All that oven baking back in the day just pulled out all the moisture and fucked the interior. https://thehittingvault.com/how-to-break-in-a-baseball-glove/#:~:text=Don't%3A%20Microwave%20or%20Bake%20It&text=So%20let's%20keep%20the%20glove,hot%20air%20in%20an%20oven.
