In NFHS, you can choose the outcome if it's found that a player has an illegal glove and made a play on the ball. I don't know if this is the same in other organizations.

3. The fourth out where an appeal play is made on a play where the third out is made and the coach has the option of taking the out that gives them the bigger advantage.

How did I do?

Rule 1-5-7: "If a ball is touched with an illegal glove or mitt...the coach or captain of the team at bat has the choice of taking the result of the play or having the award..."

There are only 2 situations the coach has options. Catchers intererance and illegal pitch.

I only have a 2005 book, and it's 1-5-3 in mine. Same rule.

No penalty for use of an illegal glove. It is simply removed from the game. This was a rule change for 2008.

I thought that was just for the "white on a pitchers glove" rule. Other illegal gloves (too large, for example) still had the penalty.

Steven, are you referring to NFHS? If so, then I have to disagree. I have the 2008 book, which I quoted from directly.

Looking at the 2009 Rules changes, I see nothing for illegal gloves for fielders, just pitchers.

Good catch. NFHS rules.

Legal length top to bottom-14".
Legal width of palm-8".
Legal width of webbing-5".

Catcher's glove may be any size.
