Yes you do. Every position requires a glove. But for positions such as catcher or first base you need a certain glove specified forthat position. You can get a glove at any sports store like Dick's or Sports Authority.
The only position that a distracting item can be removed by the umpire, is the pitcher. You could have a lime green glove as a catcher!!!
There are usually nine awards for each position in the National League and nine for the American League.

The correct spelling is catcher's mitt (the glove used by a baseball catcher).
All you need for equipment to play baseball, is a bat, glove, and a bat. if you are playing in an organized league, you need to buy a helmet, and you will probably want some batting gloves. If you are playing the position of catcher, you need to have a special catcher's glove, and catchers equipment, which consists of a catcher's mask, chest protector, and knee pads. (The knee pads cover from the knee to the top of the foot.)
catcher framing is when the picth enters your glove you then move it so it looks like a strike.
Little League Rule 1.12 - A catcher must wear a catcher's mitt(not a first basemans mitt or a fielders glove) any shape, size or weight consistent with protecting the hand.
