2 little league rule questions

[ToolinFool]

This is what the Little League Umpires Manual says. Hope that it helps.

1.13 -- The first baseman may wear a glove or mitt not more than 12 inches long from top to bottom and
not more than eight inches wide across the palm, measured from the base of the thumb crotch to the outer edge
of the mitt. The glove may be of any weight.

1.14 -- Each fielder, other than the first baseman and the catcher, may wear a glove not more than 12 inches
long nor more than 7-3/4 inches wide , measured from the base of the thumb crotch to the
outer edge of the glove. The glove may be of any weight.

INSTRUCTOR COMMENTS:
⇒ In Baseball, only the first baseman may wear a first baseman’s mitt.
⇒ In Softball, the first baseman and the catcher may wear a first baseman’s mitt.

Been awhile since I did LL but, this is what I remember about it also. Of course trying to find LL rules online is next to impossible because of LL Inc.'s sacred cash cow mentality. That for sure, has never changed

You can buy one from the LL on line.

Theyt can't be much of a cash cow - they get provided as part of the "per team" charter fee of $16 or so.

The "glove" our first baseman uses meets the specified measurments for a fielder. How is that viewed?

It is viewed as a legal glove. F3 can wear any glove or mitt as long as it doesn't exceed the specificed measurements.

Fielders other than F2 or F3 can wear any glove as long as it doesn't exceed the specificed measurements. F1's glove is also restricted to no white or gray.
