Question
what year did MLB disallow fielders leaving gloves on field between innings
Don,
Sorry about the delay - my internet connection is in a state of flux!
In 1953 it was legal to leave your glove on the field. Before the 1954 season, major league baseball changed the rule, so that was the year the gloves came off the field.
Hope this helps!
