I would argue that the foreword slash between glove/mitt means one or the other. This rule allows for the option of wearing a glove or mitt, not that the glove is optional.

I would agree with "/" meaning "or", but the sentence still doesn't mean what you say it does. Compare:
A glove or mitt
may be worn by any player.
A glove or mitt
must be worn by any player.
You seem to be interpreting "may" as "must".
