terminology about the ball being ruled foul because it "hit inside the batter's box". It either hit the BATTER while he was in the batter's box and therefore was foul OR it was a fair ball plain and simple. Just because the ball might have hit the dirt in the batter's box before going into fair territory doesn't make the ball foul.

Only a small portion of the batter's boxes are in fair territory. And a ball that hits in foul territory first is a foul ball. A fair ball may roll foul and come back fair... but not a foul ball.

If the umps judged the ball to hit in foul territory first, it's a foul ball forever.

where it hits first (in the infield) does not matter, it only matters where it ends up.

a ball can begin in foul ground, come back into fair and be fair as long as its not touched by anyone or doesn't go past 1st or 3rd base.

hell, it can zigzag back and forth and where it ends up is the only thing that matters.

I know its not the case in this situation but thats why the fielder always picks up the ball once it goes foul. so it cannot come back 'fair'.

Also, a common mistake is to think it matters where the fielder is when he touches the ball. It only matters where the ball is.

is that once a ball hits the batters box it is foul forever. Also a ball can travel foul but come to rest fair. A fair ball can never come to rest foul.

word about the ball being foul or fair..........They're investigating the extra curricular activities after the game ended............

The determination of fair/foul for a ball that remains on the infield (doesn't go past or hit a base)doesn't happen until:

1. The ball is first touched by a fielder or the batter-in-the-box
or
2. When the ball comes to rest.
or
3. When the ball touches a foreign object (dugout, fence, bucket sitting by the dugout, etc - coach, leave it alone, you can be called for interference, though most umps won't if it is obviously foul)

The batter's box doesn't have anything to do with it. Where the ball rolls around doesn't have anything to do with it. It can start out foul, bounce fair, go back foul, and return fair, indefinitely, and the only thing that determines fair/foul is where it comes to rest (or where the ball is when touched by a fielder).

We're talking dribblers in the infield. Different rules for flyballs/balls that bound over the bases...

" A fair ball can never come to rest foul." Until it comes to rest (or is touched)it is neither fair nor foul. Iguess you could also say the opposite "A foul ball can never come to rest fair").But both are meaningless - edit: I shouldn't say meaningless. I guess both statements mean "a foul ball can't be fair" or "a fair ball can't be foul"...

A couple more to try to mitigate the ignorance in advance:

A bounding ball that passes over 1b or 2b and then lands foul is a FAIR ball.

A ball that hits a bag is a FAIR ball.

The lines and foul poles are FAIR territory.

Home plate is in FAIR territory.

As mentioned earlier, there is a small piece of the batter's box that is in fair territory - the foul line runs from the point of the plate to first (or third) base. The small corner of the batter's box that fall inside that line is fair territory.

It's incredibly rare, but I've seen a ball hit, land, and come to rest in that small corner of the batter's box and it was ruled fair.

The little corner that is in fair terriroryis fair by virtue of being inside the line that runs from the back corner of the plate to the outside edge of 1b and 2b. The part that is foul is foul because it is outside that line. I too have seen balls come to rest in the boxes, and also on the plate. The ones on the plate are fair (not because they're on the plate, but because they too are inside that line). Some that landed in the boxes were fair, most were foul. Depends on where they werewith respect to the line, not anything to do with the boxes.
