I was thinking about this exact thing last night when a few times a bat was thrown directly across the line between 3rd and home. I think this is going to be one of those subjects where it is half and half. Half think move it and the other half think do not touch it in any circumstance. I personally have always been torn in the situation and most of the time move it if I see I have a chance to do so without affecting my duties. In many cases that involves just kicking it out of the way the best I can other times if I have plenty of time I might pick it up and chunk it away from everything. I would be really interested to see how most of you guys handle this. Maybe it will change my thought processes on it one way or another as right now I am straddling the fence. I do it a lot but at times feel weird about it because of the issues mentioned.
