Out or no out

Fed rules.
Ball is hit to F3, ball is held securely in his hand, F3 touches 1st base with his glove before the runner reaches 1st base. Is the runner out or safe ?

Out.......

ILBlue,

Out. This is a legal tag of the base (assuming the glove is being properly worn, of course), which is all that is required.

Does anyone know the Fed rule on this ? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks.

This must be "topic of the month"

Let's look at this another way. If it is legal for F3 to hold the ball in his glove and touch the base with his foot, why would it not be legal for F3 to hold the ball in his hand and touch the base with his glove?

I thought this was an out, but another ump insisted the runner was safe.
Thanks

That's funny, and it would be nice to hear his justification of how he was safe. Umpiring can be so difficult sometimes ... (g)

Thanks

He probally confused tagging a base and tagging a runner

"Is the hand part of the glove?"

The body must touch the bag. The glove is not a piece of the body, its a piece of equipment.

So what's a shoe?

A part of the uniform... just like the jersey. If a player runs to first base and touches it with his bat are you allowing that? Cricket style...

I'm just saying, I'd like to hear something official on this, because it seems like the glove isn't a part of the body.
