JK, do you have a rule reference on OBR? Like the later posts, I have always understood it to be at the umpire's discretion if deemed a distraction - which a light or white colored batting glove certainly would be. But it seems to be such a common "given" that the pitcher isn't allowed to wear it, I wonder where that understanding is coming from? I've gone through the OBR a few times looking specifically for this issue and couldn't find it - but I've missed things before!
