1B may wear a glove or mitt in lieu of going barehanded. Other fielders may wear a glove in lieu of going barehanded. The "may" in the hand-covering rules is there to allow them to wear the device in the first place. The game was originally played bare-handed and so there had to be a rule to allow hand-coverings after the traditionalists objected. The different rules specify which type of device is allowed at which position. The catcher may wear a mitt. If the rules wanted to allow a mitt or glove they would say so, as they do for F3. I'm headed to the ballpark now - prep for opening day.
