What I'm getting at is that there is no "plane" as you described. If it touches an object behind the fence (such as a pole or tree), that's one thing. However, just because it goes beyond the "plane" of the fence does not make the ball unplayable. A fielder could still jump, catch the ball beyond the "plane," and bring it down for an out if the ball was never touched by anything else.

Just trying to keep you away from focusing on something that doesn't exist in ASA.
