Why use gloves to run bases?The batting gloves usually come off after reaching base. Some players will give them to the 1B coach, some will stick them in a pocket, and some will hold them. Holding them will keep fists closed reducing the chance of a broken finger sliding into a base.
What tickles me are the little guys, even T-ball age who don't ever wear the gloves, just like to have them sticking out of their back pocket!
You know, I think I've seen some players switch. I don't think it offers and advantage, but I could see a guy not wanting to have to constantly be picking dirt out of his batting gloves from sliding. I always just stuffed mine in my back pocket or gave it to the first base coach.
