No, a ground rule double is ruled by an umpire, and once it is ruled, then it is a double.

You may have a case where a ball gets stuck under the padding on the outfield wall, or stuck in the ivy at Wrigley Field, where the fielder will put his hands up asking for a ground rule double. In this case if the umpire does not rule immediately base runners will continue running, when the batter reaches home, the umpire will go out and determine if in fact it is a ground rule double if the ball is actually lost in the ivy of Wrigley Field, or at other ball parks, if the ball is actually stuck under the wall padding. It is up to the umpire at that time to decide if it is a home run or a ground rule double.

However, most ground rule doubles involve a ball that is fair and bounces into the stands, if this happens, it cannot be a home run in anyway

What is A screening in basketball?

Screen or pick - classic play in Basketball is the pick and roll, one player sets a pick, the other player comes across the pick and if the defender defending the player setting the pick goes for the guy with the ball, he rolls off and goes to the hoop. The person laying the pick cannot 'move' - Excellent way to get players open. You can set back picks, picks away from the ball. Creates defensive confusion.

What is a fumble-rooskie?

It's basically a run play that's drawn up to be ran by an offensive lineman. The quarterback takes the snap but the center pulls the ball back and places the ball on the ground. The quarterback still goes through the motion of handing off the ball to a RB and the RB plays as if he has the ball. However, the ball that is on the ground is picked up and ran by an offensive lineman. The play is now an illegal play. Placing a live ball on the ground is incredibly risky considering the athleticism and awareness of defensive players. If a defensive player picks it up, it's a fumble recovery. And, considering that the offense is faking like it's a normal play, it's probably a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown. Nebraska used to run it under Tom Osborne
