To quote one authority, "This is very rarely done in the modern game." Don't make more of than it is. If you want to challenge my answer with nits, well then, have a ball.

We are not challenging your answer with "nits" but with RULES

There is no RULE against switching boxes in any of the 3 MAJOR rule books. The only rule book that your scenario COULD BE be valid and it is a REAL stretch is in FED where a batter must keep one foot in the box, however, that rule has been modified to include if B1 DELAYS the game, so as long a B1 is not delaying the game but moving from one box to another there is NO rule against it.

I'll agree with one part of your answer "This is very rarely done in the modern game." Everyone is entitled to an opinion but when it comes to baseball, the opinion should be supported by rule or an authoritative source. Your answer was neither.
