High, deep fly ball clearly over foul territory twists in the wind so that it travels just over the fence and strikes the 'foul pole' at a point that lies lower than the top of the fence.
Fair or Foul?

Foul. Impossible, but foul.

How so Bob? A ball that strikes a foul pole should be fair, if placed properly.

Bob may have been addressing the question as actually worded and not the play everyone else apparently saw. The oringal question has the ball leaving the field of play (travels over the the fence) while it is in foul territory and then striking a "foul" pole after leaving the field of play.
If the original question is in reference to the Atlanta/Nationals game, it is not a good representation of what happened.
