Oh Paleeeeezzzz  Don't tell me you really believe that.
"Sorry young lady. Even though that ball is stuck under the fence - it's still in play. You had better get it out quick before another runner scores."

I am not sure what a trapped ball has to do with the lines of a playing field, since obviously a ball can become trapped anywhere inside the live ball area, i.e. catcher's equipment, player or umpire's uniform, discarded equipment...etc. Are you saying that if a ball becomes trapped in live ball territory, I can't kill the play? We both know how ridiculous that sounds. A ball stuck anywhere is a trapped ball....period. I thought that we were discussing the live ball versus dead ball territory here, and most specifically where the fence line actually falls. Kono, the rule books are quite clear and specific.
