Can anyone think of another rule which could apply?

The Fed's ruling of awarding bases to the offense because a pitcher may have fielded a batted or thrown ball with a multicolored glove is ridiculous in logic. The color of the glove has nothing to do with improving the pitcher's ability to use it during a catch. If the offense felt they were at a disadvantage due to the color, then they should have complained and had the situation corrected prior to the pitch.
While this stands as perhaps the worst ruling I've ever seen from the Fed, someone advised me to look for its repeal in next year's casebook. I hope that rumor is correct.......
Just my opinion,
