As the rule clearly states, it is used to dry the hand. Applying it to the ball or glove won't dry the hand, so would obviously be applying a foreign substance.

That's the same reason to NOT then wipe the hand you just dried; in most cases, the uniform is wet (either from sweat or rain), so wiping the now dry hand on a wet substance accomplished .......(what)??
