Well, I don't own a PBUC manual, and my NAPBL is so out of date it's not funny, so I was just going by what Carl said in his BRD that PBUC said that gloves are okay to wear under the fielder's gloves. No distinction is mentioned as to which defensive players are eligible to wear them.
Here are my main points for my argument (even though I normally made pitchers take the gloves off when the opposing manager requested):
1. OBR makes no mention of the gloves, i.e., point not covered.
2. Only "pro interpretations" such as the MLBUM and NAPBL do not allow them.
3. FED and the entirety of all LL Baseball allow them.
Therefore, unless I'm doing a pro game, I'm not going to force the pitcher to remove gloves unless some anal coach says they are distracting his hitter.
