Fair or Foul?

Foul. Impossible, but foul.
It's possible, but TWP. Just because a ball in flight is clearly over foul territory, doesn't make it foul. No fair/foul decision can be made until the ball touches something or someone past 1st or 3rd base. If it goes 50 feet foul in the air and gets blown back to hit the pole...guess what...Fair ball.
