Check out rule 2-5-1b. It's a "nice to know rule" but I have never seen a ball land beyond this line and then spin into foul territory before reaching 1st or 3rd.
I've seen it happen (once). A popup fell fair about a foot short of 1B and 5 feet fair, then spun foul. Though it did fall behind the 1B-3B line, I was greatly disappointed that I still had to call it foul. We were playing OBR rules.
A couple of nights ago, I thought I was finally going to get to make a call I have always wanted to make. Line drive off the pitcher's plate bounced directly back toward home plate. I was preparing to make the foul call of a lifetime, but the catcher stepped in front of the plate and fielded the ball (then threw it away).
