1st Baseman mitt at 2nd base?

[FomerUmpire]

For the record, I did not ask for a definition. I know what a mitt is and what a glove is...I was unsure of the rule.

After reading it online, it seems to be quite obvious that Mitts are not allowed anywhere on the infield or outfield except for First Base. They even show a drawing!

FormerUmpire,

Now that you've read the rule, were you the umpire, would you allow a catcher to wear a "fielder's glove" under OBR rules?

Could you define the difference for us?

Yes.

Look at the palm side. No individual fingers - mitt. Individual fingers - glove.

And you already knew that.

Look at that! A definition and you said that they weren't needed.
Thanks, Rich, so if I take a "glove" and glue the fingers together, I have a mitt!

Of all your incarnations, this is certainly one of them.
