Thanks for answering, I know it is not really a "rules" interpretation type of question but it really made me wonder about the "why" aspect of the decision process. The "hand or glove" is written into the rule, and really no way to discern the "why" it must be that way, just seems inconsistent that the base is treated different than a player, although I can see why being able to touch a player with a cleat or hand could be dangerous.

To be consistent it seems you should have to touch the base with the glove/ball? Of course that would make double plays pretty impossible, but would be consistent.
