Catcher's Mitt vs. Fielder's Glove

In OBR rules, is a catcher required to wear a catcher's mitt or can he catch with a fielder's glove? I want to hear everyone's thoughts before telling mine.
Thanks.

Advanced or not advanced?

Ok, so we are all aware that you cannot run the bases in reverse order or steal a base going backwards. High School baseball game so FED rules if it matters. R1 and batter swings and hits a foul tip...

The only way that the runner would be entitled to third is if he attained second before the pitcher committed himself to pitch to the batter. This would be very rare I think. In all my years...

Back Swing Interference or Play On

So from my understanding of the back swing interference rule it exists to help the defense and not the offense. FED rules. Batter swings and makes contact with the pitch and hits a grounder right...

The opposing coach had no problem with it so why should I have made it into a big deal? There is a big difference between the name and number being different than just the number being different.
