jicecone -
Is this true?
I have never heard this referenced before.
Could you give me any FED references to this either in the Rules Book or Case Book? I am not questioning whether or not you are correct. I only want a reference so that when I see this I can quote a reference.
Thanks in advance.

I don't understand the concern for this scenario. It's an easy one to avoid. Don't call batted balls foul before they are. What's the confusion?
