Batter touching home plate while hitting - OBR

[brian43]

Next someone's going to tell me that it's an out to carry your bat to first base.

Where does this garbage come from?

its more than just an out. id consider it a deadly weapon and have the authorities alerted to remove the offender from the game.

the other team is awarded a penalty shot, one chance to throw a ball up and hit a HR.
