OK, thanks. So it is not up to the Umpires judgement, or anything of that sort?
Well, I guess it's umpire's judgement as to whether the ball was really caught or not. And in a field with a fence that is not very tall (e.g. Dodger Stadium), I guess it's an upire's judgement as to whether the fielder was over the fence before he made the catch.

BTW, if the player falls into deadball territory after making a catch, then any runners advance one base.

Bring my Dodgers into this...? They be sucking wind, big time! i gotta deal with these giants fans where I am at!!
Onto the fence issue, if f7 makes a catch, over the vertical of the fence, breaks some ribones, smashes a nut,bruises a kidney,....I got an out!You be correct if he falls,but .....credit the "D" if they make a great play
