For as many plays as we see every day, this probably seems like it is nothing. But apparently someone, somewhere believes there is an affect on the game.

Although rule 3-4 is worded oddly, don't mitts have to conform to the same size spec (ASA)?

Nope,
"The dimensions of any glove used by any fielder other than the pitcher or catcher shall not exceed...."
I read that to mean if a F2, or F3 wishes, their glove, or mitt could be as big as a basketball backstop.
FED's position seems to make good sense.
