Fair or Foul Pole

[Bfair]

As for OUR calling this play where we typically don't have 6 man crews, to call a batted flyball foul that hits the foul pole is a difficult judgment to sell. The umpire has to make this judgment from a considerable distance. The fair call is the obvious call unless that foul pole is a considerable distance back from the fence.

At our level of play, to call this ball foul is opening a Pandora's box for yourself. If you call it foul, you better be damn certain of your judgment. When the game is over you can visit the Beverly Hillbillies and start shooting bugs off the wall with Jethro Bodine..........


Just my opinion,
