Quote:
SITUATION 3:
With a runner on third, the defensive coach waits until the substitute pitcher has delivered a pitch for ball one to complain that the pitchers black and tan glove is illegal and wants a balk declared, thereby scoring his runner. The glove has a small amount of white thread in the manufacturers logo.
RULING:
The glove is illegal, not because it is multi-colored, but because of the white contained in the manufacturers logo. The pitcher must either replace the glove or darken the white threads in the logo with a dark pen that is not distracting. There is no additional penalty. (1-3-6, 6-2-1f,h Penalty)

THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL PENALTY!!!
What more do you want to overturn some vaguely referred to interp from 2 years ago?
