if a batted ball bounces in the infield and crosses over any part of 1st or 3rd base it is to be ruled a fair ball. If the ball has not bounced on the infield, the call is made depending on where it first touches the ground. if in fair territory or on the line it is a fair ball, outside the line is a foul ball. Any ball that physically hits 1st or 3rd base is a fair ball

Fair. If the ball hits the bag [base] first then goes foul it is fair

If you are a forced runner in baseball and make it to base before the ball gets there and get off the base but get back on it do you need to be taged out or does the ball just have to be on the base?
If you reach the base before the ball but overrun the base, you must then be tagged out. Once you reach the base it is no longer a force play and the fielder must tag you off the base to make an out.
If you catch a fly ball but the runer is on base is he out?
If you are saying the batter makes it to the base before the ball is actually caught, it doesn't matter, the batter is still out. Any runner who was on base when the ball was hit must be on the base they started at and then when the ball is caught, may advance at their own risk. If they do not 'tag up' on their original base they may be put out by throwing to that base and the fielder with the ball touching it before they return.
When the ball hits the ground outside the baseline before it clears 1st base is it fair or foul?
The ball has to hit the ground in fair territory past the base before crossing the foul line for it to be fair. Even if the ball bounces in fair territory, if it crosses the foul line before it passes the base it's a foul ball.
If a ball lands foul and roles in bounds is it foul?
If the ball lands foul past first or third base the ball is foul regardless of where it rolls. If the ball lands foul before first/third base and rolls fair before first/third base, the ball is fair. If the ball lands foul before first/third base and rolls foul past first/third base, the ball is foul. If the ball is touched while it is in foul territory before reaching first or third base it is considered foul and vise versa if it is touched in fair territory. Otherwise whether it is fair or foul is determined by where the ball stops. ** if the ball hits any part of 1st or 3rd base it is a fair ball
What happens if a batter hits a ball that hits first base before the batter gets there?
Should a batted ball hit any base, the ball is considered fair and live and the play continues. It is still up to the defense to field the ball and touch first base before the batter does to record an out.
When a foul ball is hit does a base runner occupying second base have to return and touch that base?
The base runner can not advance on a foul ball, he must return to the base he was at before the foul ball was hit. A base runner may advance on a caught foul ball, but must tag up and advance only after the ball is touched by a defensive player. To answer your original question, yes, all base runners must return to the base they occupied prior to the foul, and must touch that base before play is continued.
What happens to the batter runner and other base runners if a batted ball hits a runner before passing an infielder?
If a runner is touched by a batted ball while off base before the ball passes an infielder (other than the pitcher), it's dead ball, runner is out. If the runner is on base when touched by a batted ball, it's live ball and play continues.
How many ball you get before walking to first base?
Four.
If batted ball hits a base before it hits the ground is it an out?
No, it is simply a ground ball and is in play.
Is the batter out or safe if a base runner gets hit by a ball?
No. If a fielder has a legitimate opportunity to make an attempt at the ball, but the ball passes the fielder and then touches the runner, he is not out. The rules state a runner is out when a batted ball touches him before it passes a fielder.
