The word I highlighted is the clincher. If it goes to the chest protector first, did it go directly to the hand or glove? No, it went directly to the chest protector. It just ended up in the glove or hand. 
I've got a caught fly ball for an out.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
