One pitch Strikeout?

I understand that you can't see lines that have worn away during the course of the game. But to have a batter deliberately remove a line so that the reference point isn't there at the beginning of the game?? Why even have the line drawn?

Thats a good point in theory, there just isnt a rule against it (NFHS excepted) and you'll see it at many different levels where it isnt a rule.

I'll just go on record to say I dont want to see it a rule in ASA either. Just nit picky stuff I dont like to deal with.
