MY ignorance on the play was that i thought the ball had to start fair, could go foul, then could come back fair in between home plate and the corner bases. Now i know that isn't the rule!

It was such an odd f'in play, as bad as the umps are, shocked they got it right.

I remember being taught as a 3rd baseman to make sure that I touched any balls that were just in foul territory to avoid a situation like this. Of course, I never experience any as crazy as this one.

Since the batters box is loosely fair and home plate is in fair ground, any contact with the ball is considered starting fair.
