Illegal Glove

[jjskitours]

Has anyone ever seen where a foul ball caught with an illegal glove is a "strike" and glove must be removed. I've always thought the out would stand and of course the glove removed.

The example you give is the HS rule and your thought is the pro rule.

Thanks and I agree, but just can't find the NF rule or a case book reference. Do you know it?

1-5-7

ART. 7 . . . If a ball is touched with an illegal glove or mitt, that is discovered by the umpire, the coach or captain of the team at bat has the choice of taking the result of the play or having the award (8-3-3a, b, c) for use of an illegal glove or mitt. The illegal glove or mitt must be replaced immediately. A foul fly caught with an illegal glove/mitt shall be nullified and treated as a foul ball, unless the team at bat elects to take the result of the play.

Thanks. And can I assume by the omission of any reference to a penalty for an illegal glove in the OBR that there is no specific reference that states this.

Thats right and I also think that some of the other reference materials have guidance on this.

Because there's no penalty stated there thus isn't one.
