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

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