Yankee Stadium had monuments and a flagpole in center field for 50 years.

Typically, the way this is handled is like this: It is irrelevant that the trunk of the tree is in fair or foul territory. As soon as the ball strikes any part of the tree, the umpire immediately determines whether the ball is over fair or foul territory. The ball is fair or foul on that basis - regardless of where it hits the ground. If fair, it is common for the ball to be considered LIVE
