grounder hits 3rd base bag, but immediately turns left into foul territory and does not continue foward. The ball never fully passes 3rd base.

The ump in my game ruled this foul, but everybody thought it was a bad call. Fair or foul?

bad call.

:D

the ball hit the top of the bag, yet never fully went over the entire bag. just went directly foul.

Leading edge & rebounded into foul territory without going over any part of the bag? Good call.

Anywhere else, bad call.

To be a fair ball, it would have to bound "over" the base.

Speaking ASA

Say what?http://www.mansun-nl.com/smilies/spacesmiley.gif Have you been out of town lately?

I certainly hope you are kidding.

Most certainly a fair ball!

Absolutely fair. Just as if it would have gone to the first base side, hit the safety base and gone straight into fair territory: foul ball.

Tom, come back from the dark side. Feel the force, the world doesn't need more coaches.

Dakota Thu Aug 14, 2003 10:59pm

OK, OK...

That wasn't me. Somebody was using my account.

At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it! :cool:

Too late - that darn "quote" feature makes it hard to deny.

I know - all these guys are out to get me and they've edited my quote to make me look bad!! :mad:

Yeah, that's it! ;)
