Maybe all fielder's who might tag runners should be required to use 2 tone gloves to make these calls a little easier.
Until then, as long as ball is secure and held to any part of the glove during tag I'm calling it a legal tag.

Fair enough...you and a few others would be making a bad call, but it's your call to make.
The rule book is abundantly clear about what constitutes an out by tag. This is not one of them.
