Can you give me a hint as to which case you have in mind?

I'm sorry, I thought I remembered that just as 5.1.1N filled in the gap left in the rule book about a runner in foul territory being struck by a fair batted ball, there was a situation that filled this gap as well. I don't see one...
BUT, there is no code under which it is intended to call a homerun for a ball that goes over a fence in foul territory. None. Check with Indianapolis if you have to, but there is none.
As I said in another thread, sometimes you just have to understand the game. Then if it continues to bother you, propose to FED that they correct this obvious omission.
