I saw this happen at a game the other day and there was major controversy.

Right handed batter and R1. Batter hits a hard ground ball down the first base line that bounces once before the bag in fair territory. The ball bounces over the 1st base bag then lands in foul territory past the bag. What's the call? Fair or Foul?

The ump ruled fair ball because it passed over the bag inside the line. The coach went crazy. R1 went to 3rd and BR to 2nd.
