Erasing the lines

At the 2001 ISF Jr. Men's World Championships at the Olympic site in Sydney (Blacktown) the catcher's box was not drawn.

Lines? What are lines? I don't see very many batter's boxes either.

The rule is a high school rule. Our high school fields are usually properly lined.

Summer ball is another matter. We usually have foul lines, sometimes VERY foul lines, if you know what I mean. Rarely batter's boxes. Never catcher's or coach's boxes. (Championship Play tournaments are an exception to this.)

Yeah...sometimes.

At least in championship play tournaments they usually at least mean well, and the lines often aren't as "foul."

For those who might be confused, the boxes, foul ground, running lane, etc. always exist, even without lines.

No confusion here.
