"The prohibition of an on-deck batter anywhere is I believe due to incidents in which a careless player practicing their swing hit small children."
Our league had this happen. In our case I wouldn't call it a "careless player" though. He was in the on-deck cage right where he was supposed to be when someone's little brother came running in to say "Hi" and ran right into the swing.
You can't guard everything and everyone all the time. The solution was to stop the bats from swinging in the first place.
Patrollmen Smith and Jones, the crook escaped - I told you to guard the exits! We did chief, but he ran out the entrance!
