The baseball is hit to left center field. Center fielder catches it in mid air just as he collides with the left fielder, which causes the ballglove of the center fielder to fall off his hand and onto the ground. The glove comes to rest on the ground facing up with the ball still in it. The ball never left the glove and never contacted the ground. The base runners are running with two outs BEFORE the pitch, and there lays the outfielders and the glove on the ground. The glove, with the ball in it, is laying all by itself. WHAT WOULD YOU CALL?
Can't find the correct ruling anywhere in the rule book.

You are suposed to remove the ball from the glove before the out is official. Either by removing it with your throwing hand or throwing it with the glove itself. (like a glove toss on a double play). If you are running toward the wall catch it, take five steps and hit the wall and then drop it, it would be ruled an error.
If the glove fell out with the ball in it, it should be ruled as an error or hit (depending on the scorekeepers reconning of the difficulty of the catch )

One ump called OUT! Other called NO CATCH! How's that?
Real situation. Happened to a buddy of mine. No, not me.

This is a NO CATCH.
Player must secure the ball.
Glove came off hand at time of collision with other player.
Even though the ball stayed in the glove the glove came off the player's hand...this is detached player equipment...ball is not secure. There is no out.

It's a base hit and all the runner just keep running. It's called detached equiptment. That explanation comes from my dad who has 40years umpiring high school baseball games in Ohio.

I believe the the medical term for detatched equipment is called "Hernia of the groin"
