But the book describes a FAIR ball: "The batter . . . bunts the ball in front of the plate. The catcher lunges and catches the ball before it touches the ground."

"Ruling: This is not a foul tip . . ." Well, what fair ball is? If a case play is going to explain why a ball isn't a foul tip, it should at least start with a foul ball.

But is it really a fair ball, or a caught fly ball? If allowed to land, is there any guarantee the ball would not roll untouched into foul territory?
