But living in a brick house doesn't mean that John must live on B St.

FP: A pitch that hits home plate is called a ball and is a live ball.
A pitch that hits a batter [not in the strike zone] is a dead ball.
Ergo, a pitch that hits home plate and then hits a batter is a live/dead ball.
Yeah, warped logic.

No, it's not. The ball that hits the plate is a ball and still live until it hits the batter. Now, it is a dead ball and a HBP.
A HBP must be a ball because it cannot be a strike. However, just because it is not a strike, doesn't mean it was a HBP.
Priorities.
