Advice needed on "Hands part of the bat" myth

[RogersUmp]

I was trying to think where a myth like this would originate? Who thought this one up? All I could come up with is it makes the call easier for the lazy umpire. You don't have to determine if the ball hit the hands or the bat because it's all the same call. Somewhere on a sandlot field someone proabably made it up to make the call easier...it's always a foul ball and requires no determination if the ball hit the bat or the hands.

TwoBits - I think posting the 40 myths at the little league ballpark is a great idea! Hopefully people will share their wealth of new knowledge!!
