Besides, unless its far from the fence it's a pretty easy "fix" to put a short piece of fence in front of it.

Around here if that happens, there's usually a line on the pole -- above the line, it's out. In this situation, a double.

How about the line toward the centerfield side of the Green Monster in Fenway? If it hits the line is it in play? My guess would be that it would need to be clear of the line on the centerfield side to be a homer but I'm not that familiar with Fenway. Been there just once.

Yep, same here.

Agreed. But, it's in direct conflict with some FED interp (for those who are sticklers about such things).
