Batted ball hits second base then rolls foul
A friend of mine swore he saw this happen once. I'm skeptical. I never have. Nevertheless, how would you rule? Here's the alleged situation:
Batted ball hits second base. The base is so spongy that the ball ricochets backwards and has enough momentum to roll across the foul line between third and home without being touched. The catcher then picks up the ball near the on-deck circle. Fair ball? or foul ball?

If it bounces into foul territory off of first or third it is fair. The ball certainly passed both corner bags if it made it to second base
Fair Ball

Fair - all rulesets (and not that it's completely relevant, but all codes in baseball too).
