Best Answer

The ball is fair

Improved answer:

If this takes place BEFORE either first or third base, the ball is FOUL

If the ball makes first contact with the ground PAST first or third on the chalk line and rolls foul, the ball is FAIR.

If it misses the pole outside of the playing field it is a foul ball (out of play) This is why it is called a 'Foul Pole" It could have been called a Fair Pole as it is in fair territory, but the powers that be decided on "Foul Pole" and "Foul Line"
