- Um, how is that a hit? It's foul. -- nm - oblique Jul 2, 06:35 4
  - not until it goes beyond first base or touches a playier in foul territory. -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 06:37 1
    - ah, interesting. This will be my "learned something new today" -- nm - oblique Jul 2, 06:39
  - No, it's fair....the fair/foul aspect is based on where the ball rests. - Will Hunting Jul 2, 06:36

        Google says Znu is correct. 46 mins to drive 1:08 by train. -- (link) - spamlet Jul 2, 06:43
    - makes sense. haven't been there in a while, but that sounds about what I would expect for tourist trap parking. - znufrii Jul 2, 06:28 1
      - and of course, if you're staying anywhere near public transit, do that instead. -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 06:30
