Maybe this clears it up

As we know, if a fair, fly ball leaves the field of play (without being touched) over the outfield fence, it is a home run. And as said in other posts, when the ball hits the fence, it's treated as if it hits the ground (i.e. can't be caught off the fence for an out). So, if the play is not a home run, then the ball leaving the field must be ruled a ground rule double. NOTE: Now the term being used is a BOOK RULE double.
