Bull pen.

What I am saying is the path from the padding till it left play came back over the field in fair territory.

So what - it was no linger in flight so it isn't a HR.

It didn't "come back" at all. It never left until it was over the bullpen wall. That's the point. It hit the front of the wall (the top of the wall being the railing above where it hit), took an odd ricochet and left the field over the bullpen. Since it did not leave the field in flight, two bases.
