Steven - I can't tell if your trolling or serious here. Give me ANY rule example showing that possession in the glove should be treated as different from possession in the hand, and I'll try to give your argument some credence. Until then, I will (along with 99.9% of the umpires here) continue to rule that there is no difference, and since there's a caseplay that refers almost identically to the OP (with the only difference being which hand is used - a difference we just dismissed as insignificant) telling me this is an out, I have an out in the OP (as do 99.9% of the umpires).
Rulesmaven - please don't take a single dissenter as uniform disagreement among umpires. This is an out. Easily.
