To your question. As long as part of the foot is on the line, painted, chalked or imagenary, the player is still considered in the field of play. For the fielder to be considered to have entered DBT, the entire part of the body (foot, hand, arm, head, whatever) that is touching the ground must be completely outside of the aforementioned line.

Even more so if you would let the girls play. |
IrishMafia:
Thanks for the rule clarification.
To address your comment, our city league has a local rule that states any fielder may cover home plate.
