There seem to be an awful lot of replies to a fairly simple question. Bob had it right and the umpires who have worked and know the game knew exactly what he meant when he said, "Foul Ball". Of course there are nuances and odd twists and turns - that's baseball. For me, all I'll say is, "Atta boy, Bob"!
