Guys, please! The batter’s box is at home plate. When a hitter is in the batter’s box. he’s at bat, waiting for a pitch.
“A regulation baseball field has two batter’s boxes — one on the left side and one on the right side of home plate — drawn using the same chalk as the baselines. From the pitcher’s point of view, left-handed batters stand in the batter’s box on the left side of the plate and right-handed batters stand in the batter’s box on the right side of the plate.” http://m.mlb.com/glossary/rules/batters-box
When you’re waiting your turn, you’re in the “on deck circle”. On deck is not a box, it’s a circle.
We KNOW that, DUH!
Haven’t you ever watched Idiocracy?
sorry to have been the genesis of these discussions.

“Q” used the term [Batter’s Box]. The writer of the article i noted, just misspelled it.
