Actually, the only ones agreeing with your rationale and judgement are not really considered big dogs are they?
The few that have weighed in have told us that they see no reason to allow a batter to do this and claim he didn't intend to do it. So keep telling us that a batter is a runner while standing in the box with a bat. According to you, the nanosecond after you call ball four, it is now a 'runner's box'. I'm going to try to find that definition in the book.
Is a runner allowed to hold a bat? ROTFLMAO
