It doesn't say touched. Their is a difference between a fair and foul ball. Runners can and are forced to do different things on a fair and foul ball.

I also pointed out that it is one of the poorly worded rules of baseball. Now if anybody cares to find out the real answer, I gave you a very viable option.

Steve, this is why you are wrong and you and everyone else are sheep.

Well, since it says both fair or foul the passage is inclusive of any fly ball. It's not poorly worded. It's just a ruling you need to make by combining two different rules. Something good umpires have to do. It's amazing that you just cannot ever accept the fact that you're wrong. I'll bet the coaches and protest committees love you.


Tim.
