Allie's baseball glove

A private challenge from Mattis was the source of this speculative piece of
lit-crit:
In the interests of internal consistency, do you suppose that Allie's
baseball mit might actually be a "trapper".... since that's the specific
athletic equipment preferred by "catchers"? SUCH a glove would (by design)
provide more space for scribbled poems than a standard fielder's glove.
I've always imagined Allie's glove looking EXACTLY like my old baseball
glove (the one my mother threw out--for which she's NEVER been forgive!) but
now I'm forced to revise my mental image....
Just a thought.
Cheers,
Paul
