I believe this was discussed on a previous thread and, yes, it is being discussed on a baseball thread. Go figure.
Actually, the ASA rule states specifically: Prior to the pitch, the batter must have both feet completely within the lines of the batter's box The batter may touch the lines, but no part of the foot may be outside the lines prior to the pitch.
