Ball lodged in glove: FED interpretation

[GarthB]

I know that officiating.com is supposed to scoop everyone, but a few days ago, on a private email list I saw the contents of a conversation between a southern state Fed clinician and Elliot HOpkins that took place after Tim Steven's article and which appears to be saying two things:

1. The majority opinon of the FED national rules committee is that a ball cannot be "lodged" in a fielder's glove.

2. The issue has yet to be completely decided, despite Elliot's earlier comments. A final interpretation, and an explanation of what "lodged" means will be forthcoming in January.

Stand by, this could get really interesting.
