A FAIR BALL is a batted ball that settles on fair ground between home and first base, or between home and third base, or that is on or over fair territory when bounding to the outfield past first or third base, or that touches first, second or third base, or that first falls on fair territory on or beyond first base or third base, or that, while on or over fair territory touches the person of an umpire or player, or that, while over fair territory, passes out of the playing field in flight. A fair fly shall be judged according to the relative position of the ball and the foul line, including the foul pole, and not as to whether the fielder is on fair or foul territory at the time he touches the ball. Rule 2.00 (Fair Ball) Comment: If a fly ball lands in the infield between home and first base, or home and third base, and then bounces to foul territory without touching a player or umpire and before passing first or third base, it is a foul ball; or if the ball settles on foul territory or is touched by a player on foul territory, it is a foul ball. If a fly ball lands on or beyond first or third base and then bounces to foul territory, it is a fair hit. Clubs, increasingly, are erecting tall foul poles at the fence line with a wire netting extending along the side of the pole on fair territory above the fence to enable the umpires more accurately to judge fair and foul balls.
back in prolly '91 or '92, we had outfield seats for a game against the mets and doc gooden was practicing before the game. he went to toss a ball up to my sister since she kept calling his name. she was like 10 at the time and the ball went to the side of her. in trying to catch it, my dad slipped and fell into some seats and, while we didn't know it right away, broke 2 of his ribs. some bitch beside us waited til my dad dropped the ball while he was writhing in pain and took it and put it in her purse. it was pretty fucked up and awkward because we had to sit next to her the rest of the game
When I was 11 at a reds game closest I've ever come to getting a foul ball. It landed in our row and we were the only ones left I had to run like ten seats down to get it. I didn't see anyone else around. I got to it went to grab it my hand was no more than an inch above the ball some dude reached down moved my hand and grabbed it and ran off. Im still pissed.
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!

During the Sox 7 game losing streak that started on May 27th, they scored only 11 runs.
During the same timespan the Blackhawks played 4 games and scored 12 goals.
How the fuck does a hockey team outscore a baseball team, especially when they played 3 less games?
