And we have the opposite. Our association (Texas) points to the "there is no additional penalty" part of the similar (but not identical) caseplay, and tells us that the intended penalty for a glove that is illegal for PITCHING is "fix it or remove it", even if said glove is used for fielding. The 3-base award is (in their opinion, and thusly my opinion) intended for the use of a glove that is illegal for FIELDING purposes actually being used while fielding.
