Once and for all--INT on foul pop

[aceholleran]

Take it that the ball is over foul territory in the air when INT occurs. I knew we'd have some differences on this! Let's hear more!

It's been discussed several times on this (or other) sites -- if I could figure out the proper search criteria, I'd post a link.

This thread discusses OBR and others.

Interference over Foul Territory

Where is it in the Fed book? I can't find it.

Rule 7-4-1f.

Would Fed rule any differently if the INT was an obvious attempt to break up a double play? For example, what if an R1 had been stealing on the pitch, and R3 grabbed F5's glove just before the ball hit the glove over foul territory and just as R1 was sliding into 2B?

7-4-1f has to do with foul fly ball. 8-4-1h and 8-4-2g are the rules which apply to double play situations.
