No, this is where you are missing the RULE. If the ball passes over or hits the white, it is fair. If the ball passes over or hits the colored portion, it is foul. Where does it state that if passes over or hits both colors, it is ..........?

Remember, this base is for the BR and R ONLY. The only reason it is even addressed is because it sits on the playing field.

So, for clarification to determine whether a batted ball is fair or foul, I'm going to the definitions and there it is. If it hits or passes over the white, it is a fair ball. Okay, now what is stated under "Foul Ball"? Aaa, hmmmm........cannot find anything. Okay, then, the rule book states this can only be a fair ball.

Thank goodnes that was your last try, because I'm done pissing into the wind.
