It is true that at a field where the OF fence ends at the foul line, it sure can't hurt to clarify in the pre-game conference that any fair ball that bounces past the fence is 2 bases TOP.

This situation reminds me of a Legion game I played in 40+ years ago. Their guy hit a drive over our center fielder's head, and the ball rolled and rolled on the hard dry ground and finally, as the BR was on his way to 3B, went under a fence that separated the field from the parking lot more than 500 feet away. Our coach argued for a ground/book rule double, but the ump said that at that field, they didn't consider that distant fence to be related to the field, so it was "all you can get." So our coach argued that such should have been discussed during the pre-game conference and put the game under protest. (We won anyway, so the question became moot. I suspect the ump was careful to cover the situation in the future, though.)
