To your question as to whether this is "Mike's influence"...
I guess you could say it is. I saw someone post over on the baseball side that in ASA the batter's feet could not be on the lines. I posted that I thought they were incorrect, but they insisted that they were. Being that I am not an ASA expert, I thought I would ask the question overhere where there are ASA experts that could state specific rulings.
My experience with the baseball board is that there are at times people that love to instigate "yes it is" / "no it isn't" type arguments. I didn't want to get drawn into one of those.

Dan,
Go for it! This sounds like someone who does an ocassional softball game, but works off his/her baseball knowledge to survive.
If they question your knowledge of ASA rules, cite ASA Rule 7.3.A:
A. 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.
Cannot make it any more plain than that.
