I would agree with this. If it passed over the white portion of the base to get to the orange portion of the base, it is a fair ball. With that said, you better be very sure if you are calling this a fair ball, because the angle you have to make the call isn't very good and you know if you call it fair, there is likely to be a big brown storm following. The defense may make the play at first and then the offense will be moaning. The defense doesn't make the play and they are moaning. Sadly, the person with the best view on this play is likely the first base coach, who also likely will be the most vocal.
