True or false: A fair ball remains fair if it touches a person in fair territory.

• A. True.
• B. False.
• C. Depends on the ball's color.
• D. Only if it is not touched by any player.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that fair vs. foul is decided by location and the ball’s status in fair territory, not by whom it touches. If a batted ball is in fair territory and it touches anyone (a fielder, runner, or other person) while still in that fair area, it remains a fair ball and stays in play. The contact does not turn it into a foul ball just because a person touched it, as long as the touch occurs in fair territory. Color or whether a player touched it isn’t relevant. So the statement is true: a fair ball remains fair if it touches a person in fair territory.
