True, but you can't win it if you aren't there, and even getting there has been a long time coming.

If the batter is called out for hitting the ball while having one foot on the ground completely outside the batter's box, it is an illegally batted ball, which is dead immediately.

Did he attempt to strike at a pitch in flight to the catcher?

Doesn't even have to be "in flight". If he attempts to hit a pitch that has already bounced, it's still a strike.

Next to the manager in the dugout of the team that is batting. After all, most managers think they have a better view than the umps from that vantage point anyway.
