Every batted ball is fair, until it is not. That's why we point on close ones - confirming that it is really a fair ball. It's telling everyone that we were watching, we saw it land and it is fair.
That's also why we shouldn't rush to call a ball foul. If we call it foul before it actually is foul, it could possibly end up being fair. That is a bell that cannot be unrung.
Welcome!
