Baseball Equipment and clothing

Bat: A rounded, solid wooden or hollow aluminum bat. Aluminum bats are not used in the major league, because they are simply too good and would rewrite the records.
Ball: A cork sphere, tightly wound with layers of yarn or string and covered with a stitched leather coat.

Mitt: Leather glove worn by players in the field. Long fingers and a webbed "pocket" between the thumb and first finger allow the fielder to catch the ball more easily.
Catcher's mitt: Leather glove worn by catchers. Generally larger and better-padded than the standard fielder's mitt.
Batting glove: Glove often worn on one or both hand(s) by the batter. Offers additional grip and eliminate the shock when making contact with the ball.
Hat: 'Baseball cap' worn by all players. Designed to shade the eyes from the sun, this hat design has become popular with the general public.
Batting helmet: Protective helmet worn by batter to protect the head and the ear facing the pitcher from the ball.
Catcher's helmet: Protective helmet with face guard worn by the catcher.
Uniform: Shirt and pants worn by all players. Each team generally has a unique pattern of colors and designs.
Athletic supporter and cup: Worn by Catcher, and often by all players. Protects the male genitals from injury. 'Jockstrap', 'jock' or 'cup supporter'.
Sliding shorts: Padded support shorts sometimes worn to protect the thighs when the player slides into the bases.
Spikes: Shoes with spikes to provide additional traction. Historically used by sliding baserunners to intimidate fielders at the bag.
