This week's rule topic is playing a ball on the foul lines. What is the call if someone is in fair territory and touches a ball before it lands in foul territory? What if someone is in foul territory and reaches out to touch a ball in fair territory?
Rule 1.04: Any player or Referee wholly or partly in fair territory is an extension of fair territory. Any live base runner outside the kicking box is fair, even when wholly in foul territory. A player jumping from fair territory is in fair territory while in the air. A player in foul territory does not extend foul territory by jumping or reaching into fair territory.
13.02 A foul ball is:
b. a kicked ball first touching a fielder or Referee wholly in foul territory, while the ball is over foul territory (see Rule 1.04)
13.03 A fair ball is:
c. a kicked ball first touching a player or Referee in fair territory (see Rule 1.04)
d. a kicked ball landing in fair territory, then touched by a participant in fair territory before touching the ground in foul territory (see Rule 1.04)
---------------------
That's a lot to process so let's break it down. First, any player or referee even partially in fair territory is an extension of fair territory. Have even one toe in fair territory and reach out and touch a ball in the air in foul territory...FAIR ball. On the other hand, there is no extension of foul territory by a player reaching into fair territory. Big picture, if the ball is in fair territory you're always calling the position of the ball to determine fair or foul. If the ball is in foul territory you must take the player's position into consideration. There is one other unique situation that can come up. What if a player is in the air and knocks a ball in foul territory down into fair territory? Again, it depends on the player positioning as "a player jumping from fair territory is in fair territory while in the air". However, they must have been in the air before leaving fair territory.
