Hey Blue! - Umpiring Myths and Truths
MYTH - When over-running first base, the batter-runner must veer to the right into foul territory.
TRUTH - The batter-runner may cross first base and veer in any direction, provided the runner makes no attempt (not even a feint) to advance to second. After overrunning or over-sliding first base, the runner is required to return to the base immediately.
MYTH - The batter may not switch batter's from one batter's box to the other after two strikes.
TRUTH - The batter may switch from one batter's box to the other at any time, except when the pitcher is set and is ready to deliver the pitch.
