Wouldn't it be unsafe if an wild pitch hits a batter who insists on going to the other side of the diamond? Now I have not seen anyone get hit yet, but it has almost happen several times in my career, which is the reason I believe the NF has the rule in the first place to stay on your side of the diamond. Now if you cannot pay attention during live play and get hit by a ball anyway, well that is a different story. Now I do not work Babe Ruth or any OBR games under those rules, but as a general rule I would not allow a player to use the other batter's box.
Peace
