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 pitcherÂ’s 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 manufacturerÂ’s logo.

RULING:

The glove is illegal, not because it is multi-colored, but because of the white contained in the manufacturerÂ’s 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?
Did you read the play? The pitcher did not field a batted ball. Of course there is no additional penalty. I would like a play which addresses a pitcher fielding a batted ball with an illegal glove.
