You're kidding, right?

The rules don't even require a glove. Besides, if the player is dumb enough to place themselves in harm's way, that is their problem.

Especially when they HAVE the proper equipment, then legally cut parts off of it to make it "lighter."

That's like putting on metal cleats with no shoelaces. Have fun with that.

I agree. And one thing that bothers me is umpires looking high and low for "issues" that aren't really an issue.
