Did we talk about this NFHS question yet?

[johnnyg08]

the question, as it's worded, doesn't even say "fair batted ball" the answer has to be false...it simply says fair ball. The answer key says True though huh??

I give up -- what kind of a "fair ball" isn't also a batted ball?

The comments about "in flight" are relevant (imo), although the question is a direct quote from the FED rules book.

any fair ball that's not in the air off of the bat could be a fair ball...what about a ball that's going over the fence on one hop and a fan swipes for the ball and it prevents it from going over the fence....are you going to call a ground rule double there? or a 4 base award?
