No. MLB Rule 7.05c states: "Each runner including the batter-runner may, without liability to be put out, advance three bases if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a fair ball. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril."

Answer 3

It depends on what you mean by "running onto the field." I am assuming you mean the people who jump the fence and go for nice, long run in the hope of making it on television....

For those who accidentally fall onto the field... they are removed from the park by security and not allowed to re-enter... the same rules apply to those who interfere with play.

For those aspiring to be on TV and become the kissing bandit:

First everyone laughs at you; then you get gang-tackled and pummeled by security; you get taken off in handcuffs, and get a free ride downtown in a a squad car. Then the fun begins... Trespassing charges, sitting in jail until a bond is posted, a date in front of the judge, a possible fine, and whatever else the court throws at you. Also, pending the team you may be banned from the park permanently... or banned from all MLB facilities/functions for life if the charges are serious (think Chicago a few years ago when the father and son attacked the visiting coach).

In short, don't do it unless you want a possible criminal record with a potential misdemeanor trespassing charge on it. Then there are the possible attorney fees, fines, and interest on a bail bond.

Answer 4

The batter may advance three bases if the thrown glove touches a batted ball, and runners may advance three bases. The ball is live and in play.

The batter may advance two bases if the thrown glove touches a thrown ball, and runners may advance two bases. The ball is live and in play.

Answer 5

Nothing except, after the play is over, he has to pick his glove back up. There is no rule that says you need to be wearing a glove.

Answer 6

The penalty for throwing an illegal pitch is awarding a ball to the batter's count, warning the pitcher and announcing the action publicly.
