B1 pops up in foul territory behind first base. The umpire calls "Foul ball." F3 catches the pop-up. And the answer is:
It's just a dead ball, and the batter stays at bat!

Would I kid one of my favorite writers?
The moral is: Keep your mouth shut on fly balls. (Or ignore the NFHS rule.)
Note: The ball is immediately dead when the umpire calls "Foul ball!" My question: Can a dead ball be caught for an out?
