bsaucer Is a ball determined to be fair or foul by where it passes over or around the base in flight, or by where it touches the ground after passing the base?

john5396 Depends: If the ball has bounced before it reaches 1st/3rd, then the position of the ball as it passes the base is used. If the ball is a fly ball passing 1st/3rd, then the striking point on the ground is used.
