Maybe a stupid question but,
 

what is the difference, if any, between a glove and a mitt? Are there any rules that address this? I was reading one of my mags and it had an article about this for softball and it got me to thinking (never a good thing).

Hey all,

Think the difference between gloves and mittens. Gloves have fingers, Mitttens don't. Hence fielder's glove, catcher's mitt, first baseman's mitt.

First baseman's ....
 

So the thing that a first baseman wears has no fingers ???
