When I heard that Little League baseball had disallowed the batting box because of the fear of being sued by a parent whose child might be hit by an accidentally lung bat, I was speechless?
I don't quite understand the phrase "batting place", what does it mean? If batting box equals batter's box, how to play the game?
It should be batter's box, we have discussed this in other threads, and it is nonsensical. Whoever wrote this either meant the on-deck circle (an area marked out for the next batter to wait while the person in front of him or her bats), or just doesn't know anything about baseball. The only person in the batter's box with a bat is the batter him- or herself, and if they cannot bat without endangering him- or herself with the bat, they have no business playing baseball.
@Nancy88,
here's your classmate's thread on the subject
