No, the league allows protests. That umpire told me that I was wrong about the rule and he was correct.
This kind of interpretation of rules really are frustrating to me. I am of the opinion that if you are not sure exactly what a rule means or if the wording is confusing to you, you need to get it clarified. Now, this fair/foul thing - I really don't think any part of the wording or "concept" is confusing. It just seems that this particular umpire kind of has it in his own mind a certain way or something. He is also pretty young---really don't know if that has anything to do with it.
