Did the ball leave the field of play? Yes ... so you have to award something.

Did the ball go over the home run fence? I'll leave the rest of this exercise to you. But don't "What-If" yourself to death here.

As an umpire, you would learn more if you come up with these bizarre scenarios, decide what you'd rule on the field, and then go find the rule that applies to see if you got it right. Posting TWP's here won't teach you much, other than specific answers to scenarios that would never happen.
