The ball is deemed "fair" as most of these answers attest. If you look at the position of both the 1st and 3rd base bags, you will note that they are placed completely in fair territory with one edge against the foul line. Therefore, any ball hitting either the 1st or 3rd base bag (directly in the air or after rolling on the ground) is a fair ball and remains in play.I want to correct one of the answers... Any ball that is in foul territory before it reaches either the 1st or 3rd base bag is considered "live". It is deemed "foul" ONLY if it passes either base while still in foul territory, is touched by an opposing player while still in foul territory, or is deemed "dead" by the umpire. If it comes back into fair territory before reaching either base, it is then a "fair" ball and play continues. That is why you'll see players swipe at a slow roller that is in foul territory in order to make sure it doesn't roll into fair territory before reaching the bag.
