I understand the technicality argument (and, for me, the discussion is academic since I don't know of any fields around here like that). My point is solely this:
What is the point of a foul pole without a fence if it is NOT to mark a boundary of the playing field?
Suppose there was a chalk line running in an arc from one foul pole to the other? Does that make a difference?
If so, what do you do with your "2 feet from the ground" situation?
If not, what if there are no foul lines or out of play lines at all anywhere, just the foul poles? Why is the "outfield fence line" the only imaginary line the umpire does NOT recognize?
