That was a nice catcher's mitt for 1912. Plenty of padding. The catcher had to catch two handed as it was still quite a few years before the mitt was hinged and had a web which allowed for one handed catching. Most catchers had numerous broken fingers over their careers. Catcher's gear was jokingly referred to as "tools of ignorance," but the catcher often was the most knowledgeable guy on the team, knowing how to handle pitchers and how opposing hitters batted and ran on the bases. Many baseball managers and coaches were at one time catchers, including Al Lopez, Ray Shalk, Branch Rickey, Yogi Berra, Connie Mack, Roger Bresnahan, Mike Scioscia, Joe Torre, Joe Girardi, Bill Dickey, Ned Yost, Mickey Cochrane, Del Crandall,and Bob Brenly,

And don't forget the insightful in-game commentary from the likes of Joe Garagiola and Tim McCarver.

Add to that list of catcher/managers Eric Wedge of the Seattle Mariners.

How could I forget Steve O'Neill of Detroit Tigers fame?

It looks like a left-handed catcher wearing a common fielder's glove.
