"Person" is defined in Section 2

The OBR includes a definition of "person." So does J/R. It is any part of a players body, clothing or equipment.

OBR is, as is often the case, not consistent in its wording, and so the meaning of body and person is ambiguous.

But J/R is consistent, and its definitions of "tag" and "person", taken together show clearly that touching the base with the glove (if it is worn properly) while holding the ball securely is sufficient for a legal tag of the base.
