I want to make one more comment about this...

When I "discovered" the umpiring boards, I realized that it was an exceptionally good learning tool, and an exceptionally good rules refresher class.

Of course, the "curriculum" of this classroom is very unstructured, but over time just about everything is covered, and many times from a different perspective that I would have thought of on my own.

The illegal glove call is so rare, a rational teacher would not waste class time with it. However, since we had recently discussed it here, the rule was without a doubt closer to the "top" of my recall, and was there when I needed it.
