In baseball, what is the ruling when someone hits a ball foul but it then goes fair before it passes third or first base?

If a batted ball touches in foul territory but returns to fair territory before crossing first or third base AND is not touched by the team in the field while in foul territory, it is a fair ball. Watch the 1st or 3rd baseman next time you watch a baesbal game...they charge on a foul grounder to get it in foul teritory if it looks as though it may roll fair.... Jun 27 04, 8:16 PM

As a former umpire, I would support jbean's answer. Any ball which moves from foul to fair territory of its own accord before passing the base is a fair ball, if it stops in fair territory, or proceeds past the base in fair territory, or is then touched in fair territory. Jun 28 04, 7:32 PM

In baseball if a player hits the ball into the outfield and it lands right on the chalk of the foul line, is the ball fair or foul? In baseball, what is a ball that hits the foul pole called? What is the ruling if a batter hits a ball that, on the fly, first hits the pitcher, the first base umpire and then is caught by the second baseman? If there are two base runners on first and third and the first base runner takes second, is that considered a stolen base, even though there is a man at third?

Do you remember which bands hit the mainstream with which songs or albums? (The songs/albums will have gotten in the Top 40 of the American Billboard.)
