Not trying to be a smarta$$ (sorry it just comes naturally) but to me it would seem that it is someone that is focused on other activities than catching a batted ball, ie bat girl (focused on picking up bat), foul ball chaser (back to ball running after a foul ball, not seen much in softball).
There is a certain amount of wisdom in what you say, weedhopper. But, if the book tells me to do it, then I do it. I still don't understand why males in FP can leap legally, but females can't. I prefer NCAA mechanics over ASA's, but when working the ASA game, I will use theirs'. So and so on. I am there to enforce what the book/association wants me to enforce. I try to do so without being OOO, but I will do it. In all likelihood, were I working the game in the OP, I would have probably been too focused on the game at hand to notice the kid without the helmet.
