Tim.

Please cite a rule reference where it states the base runner must take his lead in fair territory.

I am familiar with the 8-4-2-o: Any runner is out when he: positions himself behind a base to get a running start. No mention of fair or foul territory. I suppose runners that stand in foul territory at 3B are guilty of an infraction with your logic.
