Ground Rule

[Big Kahuna]

The foul poles were inside instead of outside the fence. They were on the line like they should be, just on the wrong side of the fence. This all came up because at the pregame conference for a game last week, the plate umpire declared that since the poles were inside the fence, any ball that hit one would be in play. Later on that week, at another field where the poles were inside, the coach of that team announced that any ball that hit the pole above the fence was a home run. Same foul pole position, two different ground rules. I am just trying to get it right.
