eTeamz had it 10-1 fair (w/o my opinion.)
The thread below had BJ Moose, Larson, and Gee fair - Carl foul. You get added to the foul column.
The NCAA has it fair.
Net so far = 13-3 fair plus one official ruling fair.
I suspect OBR and FED have not published a ruling as Carl would have it at his fingertips if they had.
Carl hasn't come back with his research on twhat the minor league ump ruled.
Carl bases his position on "touching" as did the dissenter on eTeamz
It seems to me to be a legitimate debate.
And yes, I think it is irrational (no basis in logic) as opposed to idiotic (just plain stupid) to call a ball that is touching 1B fair and one that is 1/8" short of the base foul, when they are in the same relative position to the foul line.
