Good call. There are no foreign objects in fair territory, even a bat.

Sure there are. A part of a broken bat, the rosin bag and a helmet are examples of foreign objects. If the ball touches a foreign object in fair territory, it is live and may become fair (unless its fair/foul status has already been determined).

And I agree with you - good call.

The ball hitting any of the objects you mention does not in and of itself kill the play. One correction to your post..."If the ball touches a foreign object in fair territory, it is live and may become FOUL (unless its fair/foul status has already been determined)."

That's why I said the ball is live.

My post was not incorrect. The ball may become fair or foul.
