Not so fast. (And not so true.)

Where, geographically, did the ball make contact with the runner? Was the runner standing with both feet on third, entirely in fair ball territory when the ball struck him, or was he standing with one foot on the bag and the other in foul territory? And, if the latter, was the ball over fair or foul territory when it hit him?
