For some unknown reason in baseball, although both are in fair territory, both the line and the pole are officially called the foul line and the foul pole. They are both absolutely in fair territory, and therefore many of my friends and myself have called the two the fair line and the fair pole for many years.
Mike's Weenie's line drive hit the fair pole, and was therefore a home run. Earlier, David DeJesus's hooking liner hit the fair line in right field and was a double.

An Acronym for Cutlass Beat Off Taillight Syndrome. Virtually all 1973-1977 Oldsmobile Cutlasses had a badly designed connector for the left taillight bulb, and on virtually all of the cars within a few months of manufacture the left taillight bulb would quit working. A little elbow grease and bending with a needle nose pliers could get it shining again. I doubt if the manufacturer (GM) ever knew about it, or if they did, they did nothing about it.
Lori's 1973 Cutlass had a case of CBOTS, my 1977 Cutlass had CBOTS, in the 1970s I saw many cases of CBOTS every day.
