As this does not eliminate a deflected ball which doesn't touch the ground, it would include it.

Steve, I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're saying here. Are you saying that if a batter hits a fly ball near the fence that deflects off of the fielder and goes over the home run fence in fair territory before touching the ground, you would call that a home run?

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
