Personally, I'd like the measurements before declaring a glove illegal. If this does have fingers, then I believe the only thing that would make it illegal would be the dimensions of the glove.
I have two umpires who work the NPF and they have not seen the glove. Doesn't mean it isn't there, just that they haven't seen it.
There is a college showcase here this weekend and I will be looking to find one. Not to disqualify it, but to examine one if I can get the player's permission.
