Question
In a game yesterday, the opposing pitcher was using a first baseman's glove all game. Is that legal?

Answer
Chris,

Sorry of the delay with the answer. I had to wait for a time when I had my rule book in hand.

Using the ASA rule book a glove or mitt may be used by any player. The rule book then goes on to give 13 different measurements of the mitt/glove. If the mitt/glove meets these measurements then it is legal.
