gruberted,
Allowable equipment should be worn properly.
Back pockets are not the customary place for gloves.
If, when at bat, your gloves are hit by pitch, please continue at bat, because your improper equipment was all that was hit, much like an untucked jersey.
Similarly, if you are are tagged on your gloves or your untucked jersey, please head to the dugout.
If you simply put the gloves in your pocket, this all goes away.
Have a good game.
