What is a reasonably plausible circumstance where this might happen? Short of the "line drive knocks glove off" scenario it is hard to think of one.
How about this: F3 (LH) goes to the dugout railing for a foul pop. He realizes he can't reach it back-handed so he takes the glove off his right hand and holds it by the fingertips with his left hand for maximum extension. The ball falls in the pocket which allows F3 to flick it back into play where F2 catches it on the rebound (sort of like the catch Rose made). Anything illegal about this catch?
