Looking through the rulebook I think I see where PWL is getting his information. Under rule 2.00: "A Foul Ball is a batted ball...while on or over foul territory, touches the person of an umpire or player, or any object foreign to the natural ground."
According to this, it would seem that once the ball touches the first player it becomes a foul ball.
