Somehow Bob interprets that as "The last clause ("provided it does not extend below the elbow") is meant to apply only to the previous clause ("including one that is white or gray"), which i am not saying is wrong but, I can more readily accept it , if I knew it to be true.
Again, our area enforced this as no Medical or Compression sleeve can be worn that extends below the elbow. Uniform sleeves are in conformance with their applicable rule application.

Is this 2009 interp ambiguous?
SITUATION 5: The pitcher is wearing a white compression sleeve on his pitching arm that extends below the elbow. RULING: This is not allowed. While a pitcher may wear a compression sleeve, if it is white and worn on his pitching arm, it may not extend below his elbow. A compression sleeve of any length that is neither white nor gray, or deemed to be distracting, may be worn by the pitcher on either arm. (1-4-2)
