We were advised of the presence of Rule 2-5-1b when we covered Infield Fly rulings. If an Infield Fly lands beyond that imaginary line from 1st to 3rd and then rolls " foul ", it is ruled by definition a fair ball - for purposes of the infield fly, this is important. If defensive player does not catch the IF, and it rolls " foul ", batter is still out and ball is live. Runners may advance if the defense is not sharp enough to pick up on BU signal of fair/batter is out and immediately retrieve the ball. I don't know if that helps you or not.
ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!

Jake --
You asked for help interpreting the rule. You received the correct interpretation -- it clarifies the statement "lands beyond first or third base" (or something like that) in OBR (other interps are equally "valid" -- this is just the one that FED chose).
So, now I need to ask, what's the point of your outburst?
