    Ok I also have a weird baseball rule/questionm, lets say there's a ball hit to left field, the left fielder jumps up and catches it but then procedes to fall completely over the fence with the ball still in his possesion is it an out or a HR? I believe it's a HR but I'm not sure
    .

    He's out

    He's out as long as the ruling on the field is he held onto the ball. If it were a homerun then every ball an outfielder has ever caught over and beyond the wall (stealing a homerun) would have to be ruled a homerun...if you follow what I'm trying to type. :lol: I believe it's actually happened before and I seem to remember it being in Boston.

    ^^^^^^I've read conflicting rulelings on this. ^^^^^^

    One rule: Batter is out, and if ther are runners on, and less then 2 outs, the runners advance one base.
    Another has it, that it's a HR

    I was watching a game a couple of nights ago, and the announcer said, when the left-fielder made a diving attempt on a FOUL ball into the stands, that if he caught the ball it would be an out. But, not if he did that robbing a HR.


    I think if the fielder leaps from the field of play, inside the fence, and catches the ball, then it should be an out IMO. I just thought the OFFICIAL RULELING was a HR.

    Do we have any UMPIRES out here> :lol:

    I found the official rule in the rulebook. Just google it and you'll find it. It doesn't spell out the outfield wall but follows the same rule as foul territory and the dugouts. Again I saw this a little back and I believe it happened at Fenway. I'm too lazy right now but it's an out.

    Just happened in a college game. Part of your body has to be in play when you catch it. Basically, you can't hop the fence and catch it.

    Can we go one by one? When did manager of the year start? If it was long enough ago, I'd have to imagine Yogi is one. Frank Robinson has to be one as well.

    Geez...now I'm really just guessing. I'd love to say Mattingly but not yet on the managerial side. Since 83? Dusty Baker??
