TIM IS RIGHT ABOUT THE FOUL TIP DEFINITION. FED RULE 5-D-2 STATES THAT A BALL IS FOUL IF IT " GOES DIRECTLY FROM THE BAT TO THE CATCHER'S PROTECTOR, MASK, OR PERSON WITHOUT FIRST TOUCHING THE CATCHER'S GLOVE OR HAND." OBR MAKES THE SAME STATEMENT UNDER THE DEFINITION OF A FOUL TIP, " IT IS NOT A CATCH IF IT IS A REBOUND, UNLESS THE BALL HAS FIRST TOUCHED THE CATCHER'S GLOVE OR HAND. "
