PS - Mike R's rule does not tell us where the line is. A ball that lands in deep right field (severe intentional exaggeration) and spins backward across the line between 1st base and home is not foul by that one rule. Just for my edification, what is the exact verbiage in ASA that makes such a ball fair?
There is no "line" to be drawn. The rule says first base OR third base, obviously respective to the foul line the particular base is located.

If the ball first hits the ground or is touch over foul ground by a player or anything foreign to the ground, beyond the base, the ball is foul. Even if the ball kicks back an hits the base, it is still a foul ball.
