Oh. My. God.
Initial poster - you are not a drooling idiot. Dead Ball, Strike Three.
IAUMP - you say you are not a baseball ump. That is clear. What does the moniker "IAUMP" mean? You are obviously not a softball ump either. What would your answer have been had the batter swung and the ball hit the batter's foot? Dead Ball. Strike Three. Right? (I sure hope so). So why the difference between the foot and the hand. (And PLEASE don't say "The hands are part of the bat" --- if you do, you'll be laughed off the site.)
