In [[baseball]], a '''fair ball''' is a [[batted ball]] that entitles the [[batter (baseball)|batter]] to attempt to reach [[first base]]. By contrast, a [[foul ball]] is a batted ball that does not entitle the batter to attempt to reach first base. Whether a batted ball is fair or foul is determined by the location of the ball at the appropriate reference point, as follows: |

==My Revelation on the Human Race== |
|||
I’d like to share with you a revelation I’ve had, during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you aren’t actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with its surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply, and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we... are the cure. |
|||
* A ball that touches first, second, or third base is always fair. |
|||
==The path to your salvation== |
|||
* Under Rule 5.09(a)(7)-(8), if a batted ball touches the batter or his bat while the batter is in the batter's box and not intentionally interfering with the course of the ball, the ball is foul. |
|||
The world stands on the verge of Satori, ready to resolve the paradox of Choice and Choicelessness, of Free Will versus Fate. But that can only be achieved through an act of surrender, which occurs after the world abandons the perspectival nature of Truth, accepting the Totality of Present Consciousness which ultimately allows an evolutionary transition, transcending the Cartesian dilemma through the emergence of the de-limited spirit, which then provides the world with the choice of a third path, the path of Smith, the path of the destruction. |
|||
* A ball that hits the foul pole without first having touched anything else off the bat is fair. |
|||
* [[Ground rules]] may provide whether a ball hitting specific objects (e.g. roof, overhead speaker) is fair or foul. |

On a fair ball, the batter attempts to reach first base or any subsequent base, [[baserunning|runners]] attempt to advance and [[fielder (baseball)|fielders]] try to record [[putout|outs]].

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. That way I wouldn't have to have any goddam stupid useless conversations with anybody. If anybody wanted to tell me something they'd have to write it on a piece of paper and shove it over to me. They'd get bored as hell doing that after a while, and then I'd be through with having conversations for the rest of my life…or should I?

In baseball, a fair ball is a batted ball that entitles the batter to attempt to reach first base. By contrast, a foul ball is a batted ball that does not entitle the batter to attempt to reach first base. Whether a batted ball is fair or foul is determined by the location of the ball at the appropriate reference point, as follows:
- if the ball leaves the playing field without touching anything, the point where the ball leaves the field;
- otherwise, if the ball first lands past first or third base without touching anything, the point where the ball lands;
- otherwise, if the ball rolls or bounces past first or third base without touching anything other than the ground, the point where the ball passes the base;
- otherwise, if the ball touches anything other than the ground (such as an umpire, a player, or any equipment left on the field) before any of the above happens, the point of such touching;
- otherwise, (the ball comes to a rest before reaching first or third base), the point where the ball comes to a rest.
If any part of the ball is on or above fair territory at the appropriate reference point, it is fair; otherwise, it is foul. Fair territory or fair ground is defined as the area of the playing field between the two foul lines, and includes the foul lines themselves and the foul poles.[1] However, certain exceptions exist:
- A ball that touches first, second, or third base is always fair.
- Under Rule 5.09(a)(7)-(8), if a batted ball touches the batter or his bat while the batter is in the batter's box and not intentionally interfering with the course of the ball, the ball is foul.
- A ball that hits the foul pole without first having touched anything else off the bat is fair.
- Ground rules may provide whether a ball hitting specific objects (e.g. roof, overhead speaker) is fair or foul.
On a fair ball, the batter attempts to reach first base or any subsequent base, runners attempt to advance and fielders try to record outs. A fair ball is considered a live ball until the ball becomes dead by leaving the field or any other method.
