I've been reading this forum long enough to give you what I think your answer is going to be...

Of course the glove has to touch the runner, but......

Do you really want to have to toss the defensive coach who will undoubtedly go Ballistic/Postal/Beserk on your a$$ when you call the runner safe because you didn't see the catcher "tag" the runner even though there was a major collision at the plate, with bodies flying everywhere and the catcher holds onto the ball?

In 999 out of a 1000 cases, if there is a major collision and the catcher holds onto the ball, the runner is out unless you absolutely never saw the catcher tag the runner and even then, unless it was plainly obvious to the whole stadium, I don't think I would call the runner safe.
