Does anyone know what the nike batting gloves the pros wear are called. David Wright, Carlos Beltran, and many others including I think A-rod wear. I need a new pair and since all almost all the pros use them there must be something to it. So I need to know what there called and where I can find them.

They are Nike Diamond Elite (Dri-fit is the material name). At the moment, Nike Diamond Elite IV and V are sold.
Many of the star players have their batting gloves customised by Nike, so they're not publicly available (such as A-Rod's navy & teal Diamond Elite III's from a few years back). Also, most of them are paid huge endorsements to wear these batting gloves, as they are considered the most visible equipment and therefore valuable as advertising (this is why NFL no longer allows Nike logos on their gloves, even if they are Nike, because they have a contract with Reebok). That's why most of the star players wear them.
You can find a huge assortment of the most current colours and styles at Eastbay.com, and if it is older ones you're looking for, try ebay.
