Why can you tag up on a foul ball and advance?

If it’s dropped it’s a foul ball and you can’t advance.

It's a recorded out just as if the ball was fair so the same rules apply to the base runners is the only way I can think to explain it.
Eta: Just realized that my phone auto corrected baserunners to forerunners.

Because the balls in play .

Not sure the specific play. If the guy touched it before it hit the ground, and the fielder had any part of his body in fare territory, it's in play. I think. Ok it's been a while, this doesn't happen often for 6 and 9 year old teams.

Because the ball isn’t in play unless it’s caught.

Maybe because baseball rules go back to Rounders. There was no fair and foul territory in Rounders. (This sounds right but don't quote me on it)

Ball is still live if its caught in foul territory. if its dropped its not live.

I understand the rule, it just seems to be one of those quirky differences when it’s in the field or foul.
Also brings up the decision that you may not want to make the play on a foul ball I certain situations

Correct if the ball is deep enough in foul territory and the outfielder has no chance of getting the runner at home after he tagged up he will let it drop with less than 2 outs every time.

Huh????
It’s in play unless it hits the ground or part of the stadium.

If the ball is caught anywhere on the field, even if it's in foul territory, it's considered still in play. Since it's still in play, the runners on the base are allowed to steal.

Actually the runners are allowed to advance.

Here’s the one that bothers me...
A sac fly doesn’t penalize a player’s batting average. A fielder’s choice grounder with an RBI does penalize the batter. In each case he put the ball in play for an RBI

The ball is live until it hits something in foul territory. Before it reaches the bases that is a wall/net or a player. A fly ball In the outfield that is as soon as it hits the ground.

Not completely true. An infielder can reach over the baseline to snag a ground ball that has not touched foul ground but its trajectory is not going to clear the base and that ball is foul. Seen it several times

A foul ball is a dead ball. A caught ball is a live ball. Once the catch is made, if the runner is on base, the ball is live and it’s basically equivalent to stealing a base.
The real question is, why do you have to go back to your base when the ball is caught? The ball is hit and it’s live. The ball is caught and it’s live. So why is there a rule preventing you from advancing on a live ball?

For the same reason you can tag and advance on an infield fly rule?
