Going back to the fair/foul...according to the way I am interpreting the rule (I acknowledge I may be incorrect), it seems that once a ball touches a person while over foul territory it immediately becomes a foul ball, and therefore a dead ball. Now, I understand that once the ball is touched the runners can leave, but because the ball is dead upon touch the runners could not advance. So, the juggling act for which the various rules counter seems to not apply for a foul ball, because upon touch the ball is dead. However, if the first touch is a catch the runners can advance.
