If the outfielder has control of the ball and then goes into the stands it is an out.that is an out only if theres no interference. If there is it becomes a dead ball and counts as a strike if he has less then 2 strikes on him.

The actual governing rule is found in Rule 7.04 and 7.05 as follows:A "catch" will be allowed and the ball remains live if a fielder is able to lean over any fence, rope, or other such means that define the perimeter of the playing area---so long as both of the fielder's feet remain within the playing area when the catch is made.
A "catch" will be allowed, but the ball will become dead if the fielder falls into the stands (or any DBT outside the playing area) after the legal "catch" has been made. All runners will be allowed to advance one base subject to the base each occupied at the time of the pitch. That is, Rule 7.04(c) will be enforced.
Note: If there is any fan interference that causes a failure by the fielder to catch a fly ball that is located over DBT while the fielder remains in LBT, the play will be ruled a "foul" and out of play if it happens in foul territory. If fan interference occurs when the ball is over DBT in fair territory (that is, over the outfield fence), then the play will be ruled a homerun.
No "catch" will be allowed if the fielder enters with one or both feet any DBT outside the playing field in order to attempt the catch. The play will be ruled "foul" and out of play (assuming it happens in foul territory. If it happens in fair territory, that is, at the outfield fence, the ball will be ruled a homerun).
DBT stands for Dead Ball Territory
LBT is Live Ball Territory
Bases loaded, 2 outs, bottom of the ninth?
then the batter is outHow long would you keep Felix Hernandez out?
As long as the outfielder holds on to the ball it is an out. If he drops the ball in the stands then it is a homerun.Is anybody ready to see us RedSox kick the crap out of the Yankees tonight?
Out as long as he holds on! For example, A Mets player ( I forget who) had the ball bounce off his head and over the fence and was counted as a home run. Adam Dunn caught a ball and flipped over the tarp but hung on to the ball.Pitching a perfect game vs. a perfect season (162-0) - which would be a bigger newsmaker?
He's out. By rule your body has to be in one part of the field even if your in the air. If a guy were to jump the short fence in Fenway and catch it in the the bullpen it would be a homerunI'm with everyone else on this one...
So long as he's "in the field of play" when he catches the ball, he can fall into the stands and the out will count. However, if he leaves the field of play before he completes his catch, it's a home run (or foul ball, where applicable).
In baseball, what is a fielder's indifference?

I take it you mean the outfielder caught the ball in fair territory and then fell into the stands.The batter-runner is out. If there are base runners and the batter-runner's out was the first or second of the inning, all base runners are awarded one base.
