Easy, Bob. Everyone gets confused when home plate is involved. It's as if home plate is an alien creature that no one knows how to deal with. We've all heard the rat screaming "How can it be a fair ball, it hit the plate!"

Go to your rulebook and read what makes a fair ball foul and what happens to make a foul ball fair. Forget that home plate is involved as the plate is the culmination of the 2 foul lines which puts that little 17" object smack dab in fair territory!
