Keep in mind that years ago in MLB, a batter standing forward in the box was technically out if he hit a ball down off his front foot while he stood in the batter's box. The foot was in fair territory, and the rule book made no exception for the box. However, the umpires always called that a foul, so MLB redefined the rule to make it consistent with what all the umpires called anyway.
