Oh look a stick! This ends covered in DOO, this end is clean! What ever should I do?

And if you rule that the batter had completely LEFT the box and is then hit by batted ball in fair territory, you will kill this play, rule him out, and return other runners.
Very funny post. And accurate!!! See, flowerboy, I doo have a sense of humor!
