The distinction seems to be that gloves have fingers and mitts don't. Catchers mitts certainly don't have fingers, but first baseman's mitts have some semblance of fingers, yet look somewhat mittish.
Therefore, I propose this forum should be "Catchers Mitts"
I could be totally misinformed though. Please enlighten me. Thanks, Paul

yep, the correct answer is mitt, but glove is also acceptable in the US vernacular.
