If a ball hits the yellow line at the top of the fence in the outfield is it considered a home run?

I've seen home runs where they've bounced off the noggin of the guy chasing after it. If it's in fair territory, if it goes over the wall it's a homer, unless it bounces off the ground and then goes over. Then it's a ground-rule double.

∙ 9y agoWhen a ball hits this yellow line, it is considered a home run in Major League Baseball. Most ballparks have this yellow line that helps umpires judge if a ball went over the wall.

Has the ball ever bounced over the fence for a home run in Major League Baseball?
Ball Bouncing Home Runno because if it bounce over the fence it is called a ground rule double. the runner advances to second base. so no it hasn't and never will.

The rule was changed for the 1931 season to read:"A fair hit ball which bounces through or over a fence, or into the stands, is considered a ground rule double instead of a home run."
If a fielder catches a fly ball and falls over the center field fence is it an out or a home run?
If the player holds on to the ball and it is determined that it did not touch the ground, it is an out. If the player drops the ball while falling over the fence, it is a home run. Added: To get more technical, I think as long as the fielder has his feet inside the area of the field of play, it would be an out. If the entire body (including feet) are over the fence when the catch is made, then it would be a home run. The above answer is wrong. If a fielder leaps and catches the ball before he touches dead ball territory the catch is good and the batter is out. It doesn't matter where he is in relation to the fence. He could be ten feet into dead ball territory and as long as he hasn't touched the ground, the catch is valid.
How many feet constitutes a home run?
It's 90 feet along each edge of the diamond, so a home run would be 360 feet.If you're asking how far you have to hit a ball for it to be considered a home run, there's no answer. Anything beyond the rear fence, but the position of the rear fence varies in different parks... in fact, the distance often varies considerably within a park, with the distance just inside the foul line on either side being not the same as the distance to the center of center field. Often the left field and right field distances aren't even the same.
