dddunn3d,
Your cite would certainly apply if the fair batted ball became "lodged" in any part of the player's uniform or any piece of his equipment
other than his glove. If the ball gets "stuck"/lodged in his glove/mitt, I believe the assertions I made above are correct. Well, at least the one about the ball remaing in play while the glove remains on his hand.
To tell the truth I'm actually not
sure if the ball becomes "dead" when the player intentionally removes his glove (while the ball is "stuck" in it) or if it only becomes dead if he subsequently tosses it.
And I really can't tell what is supposed to happen if the player is simply
unable, no matter how long or hard he tries, to get the ball "unstuck" from his glove.
Why don't you read "Situations 6 & 7" which can be found at the link below and then come back and tell us what
you think.

P.S. BTW, since you're going there anyway, you won't want to miss "Situation 3" either.
