There is about 2 acres in foul territory on a baseball fields with left field and right field walls 300 feet from home plate and dead center 400 feet from home plate. This is about the size of a typical major league baseball field, but there isn't any standard for the outfield dimensions. Many outfield walls are positioned to fit within the confines of a downtown construction, or are just built with irregularities to fit with the traditional look of old ballparks that had obscure dimensions.

A fly ball first touches the ground fair one foot past third base untouched but then spins back and goes foul between home and third base what is it fair or foul?

It would be considered a fair ball. Once the ball touches the ground past the first or third base bag in fair territory the ball is considered fair regardless of where it may roll. Rule 2.00 of the Official Rules of Baseball defines a fair ball as follows: " A FAIR BALL is a batted ball that settles on fair ground between home and first base, or between home and third base, or that is on or over fair territory when bounding to the outfield past first or third base, or that touches first, second or third base, or that first falls on fair territory on or beyond first base or third base, or that, while on or over fair territory touches the person of an umpire or player, or that, while over fair territory, passes out of the playing field in flight.
A fair fly shall be judged according to the relative position of the ball and the foul line, including the foul pole, and not as to whether the fielder is on fair or foul territory at the time he touches the ball.
Rule 2.00 (Fair Ball) Comment: If a fly ball lands in the infield between home and first base, or home and third base, and then bounces to foul territory without touching a player or umpire and before passing first or third base, it is a foul ball; or if the ball settles on foul territory or is touched by a player on foul territory, it is a foul ball. If a fly ball lands on or beyond first or third base and then bounces to foul territory, it is a fair hit.
Clubs, increasingly, are erecting tall foul poles at the fence line with a wire netting extending along the side of the pole on fair territory above the fence to enable the umpires more accurately to judge fair and foul balls "

A throw directly across the diamond from 3rd base to 1st base is 127 feet 3 3/8 inches. If the shortstop was positioned exactly midway between 3rd base and 2nd base and 15 feet off the base line toward left field, the throw would be approx. 114 feet.

How many bases does the runner get on a overthrown baseball?

For an overthrown ball that winds up out of play (in the stands or dugout), each runner may advance one base. If an overthrown ball does not go out of play but is kicked out of play or by some other means is put out of play, runners may advance two bases. This very, very rarely occurs but lets say there is a routine ground ball to the shortstop and he makes a poor throw to first base that gets by the first baseman and comes to rest in front of the dugout. The catcher runs over to retrieve the ball and, in his haste, kicks the ball into the dugout. In this case, runners may advance two bases.

What are the Number names on baseball positions on the playing field?

Number are assigned to each position for the purpose of scoring the game. Numbers are used as a kind of "shorthand" or abbreviation. The numbers assigned are as follows: # Pitcher # Catcher # First Baseman # Second Baseman # Third Baseman # Short Stop # Left Fielder # Center Fielder # Right Fielder

For example: If the baseball is hit to the Left fielder and he catch's the ball for a putout the play is scored 7. A double play shortstop to the second baseman to the first baseman is scored 6-4-3 DP
