Baseball home runs and umpires ruling on foul balls
When a ball batted over the 235 foot regulation distance clears the fence to be ruled a home run the umpire must watch until the ball leaves view and then decide if it was foul based on where it disappeared not where it was when it passed into fair territory. The call rests on where the ball was last seen by the umpire.
