HR or not?
Fly ball to LF, hits off the top of the fence (chain link fence that has that plastic yellow tubing on top) bounces up in the air back towards the field. F7 is running hard toward the fence, and deflects the ball back over the fence. What's your call?

In OBR...a batted ball that hits an outfield wall (in fair territory) and then hits a fielder and then goes over the outfield fence into DBT is a double...not a home run.
A batted ball that hits the top of the fence and then goes over the wall (without hitting a fielder) is a homerun. |

I called it a ground rule double. I didn't have a rule / case book handy when I got home, but I was pretty sure once it hit the fence it was no longer in flight.
The coach argued that it was the same as Jose Canseco knocking the ball over the fence, but that ball WAS still in flight as it hadn't hit anything before hitting Jose in the head. Thanks for the responses! |
