Is the hand part of the glove?

The question is
Is the ball part of the hand?

If so, then a pitched ball that hits the hands should not be a HBP.

Maybe thats a new "myth" that needs to be exploited. I think the BALL is part of your hand which is totally different than the HANDS being part of the BAT.
