IF debate
i asked a similar question before and the guidline i gleaned from the post was except for the batter who is called out immediately all other rules pertaining to fly balls stand basicaly touched has no real meaning and refers to caught. as for your situation if the ball roles across the base line in front of 1st and 3rd its location(inside/ outside the line) determines fair/foul. so in your example the ball roles outside the foul line while inside the 1st base line it is foul IF is canceled. if the same happene behind 1st base then the ball is fair IF stands.
