ottoman's free zone

I took off my baseball cap and tossed it in the air, and damned if the ball didn't hit it and drop down, right into my hands.

haha! awesome! Although, from quick research, it looks like it should be a violation. "detached equipment rule" .


When a fielder throws his glove at a batted ball, it is a violation of baseball rule, 5.06(4)(C), the detached equipment rule. There is no penalty if the glove does not make contact with the ball but if the glove makes contact, all runners, including the batter runner are awarded three bases.
