I have not found anything on this in OBR, PBUC, or BRD. It is covered in FED (7-2-1(f)). Could this be a case for 9.01(c) to be applied? If so I would rule foul ball if a batted ball touched him while in the bermuda triangle, unless it was laying there like a dead duck, or spinning away from him, when he kicked it getting out of the box, ie was it avoidable or unavoidable. It is only logical that he can stand in the box, with one foot in the triangle and foul a ball off his foot. It is not logical to allow a ball that lands in the triangle and dies there to be kicked no more than it would be logical to allow one that lands one inch in front of home plate to be kicked.
