Never saw this one all the way through in one sitting, so watching it now.....and just happened to come across this UNBELIEVABLE bit of trivia I must have missed before, posted on the film's page on IMDb, HERE:
In many scenes, players toss their gloves down on the field near their positions before they head to the dugout. Until the 1950s, players frequently left their gloves on the field while at bat. Because of the danger of players stepping or tripping on them, and batted or thrown balls bouncing of of them in odd directions, the leagues requested, then demanded that players take their gloves with them to the dugout. They finally complied after a rule change and fines.
