If a player catches a ball near over the wall and falls into the dugout is it still an out?
Example would be if Coco Crisp had caught the ball before taking the digger into the dugout.

Will matt cain for SF get the win today?
Coco fell into the bullpen...anyway, the ball would be considered "dead" and the runners would all advance one plate. (Batter to first, etc...)From the official MLB Rules, under sections 6 & 7 ("The Batter" and "the Runner") Section 5 talks about "dead balls". http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/off...
6.05
A batter is out when --
(a) His fair or foul fly ball (other than a foul tip) is legally caught by a fielder;
Rule 6.05(a) Comment: A fielder may reach into, but not step into, a dugout to make a catch, and if he holds the ball, the catch shall be allowed. A fielder, in order to make a catch on a foul ball nearing a dugout or other out-of-play area (such as the stands), must have one or both feet on or over the playing surface (including the lip of the dugout) and neither foot on the ground inside the dugout or in any other out-of-play area. Ball is in play, unless the fielder, after making a legal catch, falls into a dugout or other out-of-play area, in which case the ball is dead. Status of runners shall be as described in Rule 7.04(c) Comment.
Rule 7.04(c) Comment: If a fielder, after having made a legal catch, should fall into a stand or among spectators or into the dugout or any other out-of-play area while in possession of the ball after making a legal catch, or fall while in the dugout after making a legal catch, the ball is dead and each runner shall advance one base, without liability to be put out, from his last legally touched base at the time the fielder fell into, or in, such out-of-play area.
I am going to the mets yakees game. I am a Mets fan and I need a good sign.?
great question man... idk tho i play center field and did it and it was an out... But It depends on the umpire, because DAVE WINFIELD when he played left field for the yankees did it and fell right over the fence and it was an out.. so most of the time man ... hope this helped... Haha and also i am a Yankee fan and my friends bet me five bucks arod would hit a homerun and he did.. lol damn coco crisp cost me five bucks.. even tho i am a yankee fanWho was the last player to hit for the HR cycle?
If you catch the ball in fair territory, then it is an out. If you catch the ball in fair territory, and carry it out of play (like the dugout or stands), it is still an out, but if there are baserunners on, then they can tag up and advance. That's why guys don't ever go for plays like that when there are runners on. If Derek Jeter is laying passed out from hitting the dugout steps catching a ball, it's scoring time!Is it panic time for the yankees?
Yes, because he caught the ball in the field of play.Chow!!
In the MLB currently, who are the top 3 teams with the best bullpen and the botttom 3 worst?

Why the Houston Astros mascot is a Rabbit?
Simply put, yes. It's an out as long as the umpires can tell that he made a clean catch. If he gets out of view and they can't tell if he caught it or just put it in his glove, then it may not count."Chelebee" is correct. I would only add that if the ball is "caught" in fair territory, but dropped out of play, the continuation rule in baseball would prevail and there would be no out recorded. As long as the ball is caught and stays caught, it's an out.
How do you check if you have a valid baseball ticket for the arlington ball park in texas?
Yes.If there are base runners and the out wasn't the third out, the base runners are each awarded one base.
