If an Outfielder Catches a Home Run Ball and Then Falls Over the Fence Is It an Out or a Home Run
In baseball, a home run is awarded when a batter hits the ball over the outfield fence without it touching the ground. However, if an outfielder catches the ball before it goes over the fence, it is an out.
So, what happens if an outfielder catches the ball over the fence but then falls over the fence? Is it still an out, or is it a home run?
The answer is that it is still an out.
This is because the outfielder has already caught the ball before it went over the fence. The fact that the outfielder then falls over the fence does not change the fact that he caught the ball before it went out of play.
