And, as we know, in NFHS rules that if a shoe string (tied or not) touches a base in a force out that counts and the out stands, we also know that even a long lock of hair touching a base is as good as stomping on the bag.

I guess this is MLB's way of nipping a potential problem in the bud, since they don't have a rule or definitive guidance on how long laces can be on a glove. The only concern with laces is how they may be distracting.
Honestly, though, who would have thought to look at this as a potential problem under the new replay rules, and actually come out with a memo to address it? Shall we stretch the realm of the possibility even further? How about not letting base runners wear those protective gloves that I saw Ryan Zimmerman and Bryce Harper wear when they returned from the DL. After all, they could be longer than the runner's fingers and give them an advantage in reaching a base that could be captured with the X-Mo technology. Should we even think about forcing runners to trim their nails? Geez...

How about the baserunner who sticks his batting gloves in his back pocket and gets tagged on fingers that are hanging out? "Replay!" I can hardly wait until replay begins it's long trickle-down...
