Thank you gentlemen. I appreciate your thoughts. But, did you notice that all the old posters, the guys with 100, 200,or 300 posts didn't answer? It is clear to me that a foul ball is a foul ball whether it hits a helmet, a bat or a fense -- when the ball stopps or is touched in foul territory, it's a FOUL! Why reiterate it in the "helmet law"? For that matter, if a rule is cited for a helmet, why not include a batter's glove, a hat, or the runner's chewing gum? I just do not understand why these two clarifications remain in the OBR.

They still look like relics from the 1940s. Come on all you rules guys. Shed a little more light on the question.
