fair/foul
I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread on this yet. Anyway, if you ever doubted the ignorance of the public concerning baseball rules, read the comments on this article. They're approaching 2,000 by now.

There is ... sort of - see my thread on Kudos. We were trying to avoid this, you know.
![]() ANd yes - people's ignorance is astounding (see SportsNation as well for the same kind of idiocy).

You let the secret out of the bag. But I like you thinking.

I briefly scanned that kudos thread. As soon as I saw "rising fastball" I left.
Apparently there's a website where some clown explains fair versus foul, and many of the posters are relying on it for information. These are the people calling other posters fools, morons, idiots, etc., for not knowing this simple universal rule of baseball: [from the website] If the ball first lands on the outside of [a foul] line, away from where the fielders are positioned, the ball is foul. It does not matter if the ball is in the infield or the outfield. One guy says the ball was fowl. Another says where it goes past third plate doesn't matter.

Rhetorical Question?
Easy. They become color commentators.
