Just out of curiosity (baseball is not my sport), what's the rule here?

It looked to me as though the ball first struck the wall and then the pole. As soon as it hits the wall in fair territory, it's fair, right? Does it then matter whether it goes out of play fair or foul? They seemed to be making a big deal on tv of the fact that it hit the pole after it hit the wall. What consequence does that have?

I assume that if a batted ball hits the top of the wall in foul territory and then hits the pole (if that is possible) it would be a foul ball. True?
