Are you speaking colloquially?  No but a rulebook definition of a mitt and glove isn't an improper request.  |
Well, we manage to handle obstruction and interference without have a definition of "impede" in the book.
We say a fielder can reach over a fence to catch the ball without needing to define "fence".
There are a lot of words in the book that don't get defined in the book.
Some things are obvious. Mitt and glove fall into that category.
