Abstract
A baseball mitt comprising front and back plies forming a mitt body having thumb portion, a finger portion and a portion connecting the thumb and finger portions, and a glove secured to the back of the body with the front of the glove facing the back ply. The glove has a thumb stall disposed generally behind the thumb portion of the body, at least one finger stall disposed generally behind the finger portion of the body, a crotch portion between the thumb and finger stalls, a palm portion, and a hand-receiving opening adjacent the bottom of the mitt. The glove is joined to the mitt body at the periphery of the hand-receiving opening and at the ends of the thumb and finger stalls, but is free of attachment to the body at its palm portion, thereby providing freedom of movement of the palm portion of the glove relative to the mitt body for increasing the flexibility of the mitt.
