In short, don't ever call it fair or foul until it actually is fair/foul. A ball, rolling down the line for example, is neither until it is a)touched by a fielder, b) passed first or third base, or c) come to a complete stop.

A fly ball that lands initially past the bases, on the other hand, is fair or foul immediately, depending on where it first lands or is touched.
