there is one major difference in hitting the top of the fence and a foul pole. The top of the fence is the top of the fence. The foul pole that gets struck is ABOVE the fence in FAIR territory, the batted ball has left the field of play in fair territory, meeting the criteria for a home run. A ball that strikes the fence and bounces back into play is no more than a live ball in play.
