is if the ball hits the top of the fence, that is considered to be in the stands?

cause the reply clearly shows it hitting the top of the fence.

A ball that hits the top of the fence is a home run for sure. Is that what you're asking? -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 18:32 9
- no, what i am asking is it the top of the fence considered in the stands? - tRuMaN Oct 19, 18:33 8
  - I don't think the rule has to do with the ball being in the stands, it has to do with the OFer going into the stands to make the play. - TFox Oct 19, 18:35 7

        Right. I had thought that probably not included dropkicking an OFer's arm, but apparently it doesn't. - TFox Oct 19, 18:51 1
        
        (Well, I just took a shit on the idea of "the sentence" right there. But you catch my drift.) -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 18:52
    - But once it hits the top of the fence, the OF can't make a play -- the HR has been made. So it's "in the stands" in the sense that the fans - mara Oct 19, 18:38
