C'mon Dash, now you're just makin' sh*t up. There is NO rule that says that. That is not even an official interp. Not a rule in OBR, NCAA, or FED.

Or is this another case where my chain is being yanked?

It was a chain yank. It is also a very common (unwritten) interp.

FED 7-2-1f: A strike is charged to the batter when: a batted ball contacts the batter in the batter's box (foul ball).

Right: the FED rule expresses explicitly and is based on the (unwritten) OBR interp.
