Where did it meet the qualifications for a fair ball? It went up the line and hit the colored part of the base. Foreign object in foul territory. What do you think made it fair? Foul all day.

You obviously didn't read my response. No, the OP did not state the ball went up the line, but that it was in fair territory. The fact that it touched the orange base has no more bearing than the location of the fielder's feet when touching a ball in flight. The location and path of the ball, OTOH, have everything to do with the appropriate call
