Uh Huh. The way I've seen it layed out, the center of each base in actually in the square, in other words, the part in the ground that the base fits into. If that's true, portions of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd bases, the actual bases, are outside the square. The lines from 3rd to Home and 1st to Home actually go to the front corners of the plate, so the rear portion of the plate isn't in the square either. So every base, including home plate, is considered "fair", but they are not actually completely within the square. So, it one measures from center to center, the distances should all be the same.
If you want to make bar bet money, bet on the fact that a ball which leaves the bat and hits the pitcher's plate before touching anything else is a foul ball.
