This is what I proposed in a prior thread about the fair/foul call that ended the Cubs/Astros game. There was a view that a ball could be fair if a small portion of it was over but not touching the line. In this case, it was fair because it kicked up chalk - that was my point. The ump was ready to call it foul until he saw chalk fly. It is completely impractical to judge a portion of the ball casting a shadow on the line.
