From the 2008 case book:

PLAY 7.6-7
B1 hits a ball toward F1, hitting the pitcher’s plate and rebounding back toward the bat that was dropped in fair territory. The ball hits the bat and then rolls untouched into foul territory where it settles.
RULING: B1 is not out for hitting a ball a second time. After hitting the bat the ball is fair until it rolls into foul territory. If it comes to rest in foul territory before anyone touches it, it is a foul ball. (1-FAIR BALL; 7-6K)

The rule is pretty clear IMO, and in a perfect shade of black and white - so I doubt the case play below will help as it is likely a comprehension issue.

Yep, hair and all down to the point that he also had about three days of beard growth. It was comical because he had the dish. During the three or four times he actually removed his mask during the game, his hat came flying off and spring loaded hair went everywhere.:eek:

He also signaled the number of outs between batter doing the same dance. That game was one and a half hours of pure adventure.;)
