so, there is no where in the baseball rule book that anyone has found this rule? the site director and his son boht told me the rule exists in the BASEBALL rule book... i have never heard of it, and neither has anyone i know that does baseball..i have asked many collegiate and hs level guys, and no one knows where he got it from... very puzzling..

First, what does "kicking the box" mean? Do you mean erasing lines? Like Julio said above, there is a FED softball rule that prohibits this. This particular violation seems to really get the softball guys panties in a wad.

Funny thing is in softball it's the line at the front of the box that's the concern. The LH slap hitters want that extra foot or so when starting for first base.

I did one softball game this season and I NEVER once saw that happen!! LOL

I think someone needs to get kicked in the box for this one.

Coach, you better have your cup on!!!

Exactly who is going to check and validate this rule???????

NOT ME!!!!!

We can always make one of the 'younger' guys do it. Any volunteers?
