Our baseball team and softball team played the same school at their place on the same day. We had to walk past the softball field to get to the baseball field. Myself and another coach noticed something on the foul poles of the softball field that got us talking.
At the top of the foul poles were pennett flags flying. The wind was going from LF to RF and so that put the RF flag in foul territory. So we were wondering if the ball hit the flag flying in foul territory would be a homerun or not?
I say no because you can still obviously see the pole and that flag is just there for looks and serves no purpose. My buddy says it's a homerun because it's attached to the pole.
