Rich,

Where YOU been? Can't believe it took you so long.

Could you please point me to the text in the rules that defines the "technical legal difference" between a "glove" and a "mitt"?

Besides, maybe it was actually a "first baseman's 'glove' " that FormerUmpire saw the F4 wearing (rather than a "mitt") and he was just speaking colloquially.
