BTW, notice I did not start with questioning MLB or "the circle" or wise crack about them.

The 40 myths that I mentioned have to do with MLB baseball although quite are few do pertain to softball as well.
The rule that was changed in 2006 was that a batter who failed to advance to 1B could do so until he reached the dougout.
After an incident in 2005 it was changed that as soon as he left the area around home plate ( which is called the batters circle) he was to be declared out.
Unfortunately myth # 10 still follows the pre 2005 rule set--although the above link does show the difference in some codes.
Yes, this is a softball forum, but you did ask...
So tell me, since you only accept 39 myths which is the one that does not apply?
PS..myth # 20 shows the obstruction difference between most baseball codes and softball.
