Why is everything black and white?
I understand NFHS's quest to eliminate all instances where an umpire must use judgment. I even agree with most of them. I can't, in my wildest dreams, ever justify a three base award for use of a distracting glove. There has been no performance modification made to a glove containing the color white. This glove is not the same as one that exceeds the size limits or has a tacky substance applied to it. We cannot hide behind the term "illegal glove" in this instance. Please, use the penalty pointed out by SDS. You will not lose a protest. Especially in CT where they are not allowed.
