It is turned the other way, Peter, 'cause you learned to play in the 20th century when gloves were used.
Stand at third one more time, throw down your glove, and come in on a bunted fly ball that you're about to catch barehanded, 'cause that's how you've learned to catch. Just like you'd catch a bag of Cracker Jack if someone tossed it to you today as you sat in the stands. You wouldn't catch a bag of Cracker Jack today the way you'd turn your glove today...
And I agree that it could be a back to the plate thing, or a reaching over the edge of the railing thing...
Vertical.
