I don't know why so many people get confused about this. It is no different than if the ball hits any part of the ground and then rolls over either foul line before 1st and/or 3rd base. Just because it hits the rubber doesn't make it a fair ball. Hitting the rubber isn't the same as hitting the 1st or 3rd base bag. Now the question that needs to be asked is... Batter hits a line drive up the middle. The ball hits the front edge of second base and flies over the foul line between home and 3rd base where it rolls to a stop. Is this a fair or foul ball?
