With the exception of a couple of months at the start of the 1920 season, from 1906 to 1930 the foul lines were "infinitely long": A fly ball over the fence had to land in fair territory (as determined by the infinitely long foul lines), or be fair when last seen by the umpire, in order to be a home run.. In other words, a fly ball that went over the fence in fair territory but "hooked" around the foul pole (if there was a foul pole) was ruled a foul ball. Old pictures of the New York Polo Grounds show ropes strung in line with the foul lines from each foul pole to the back of the stadium to assist the umpire in determining whether a "home run" was fair when last seen. The current rule, rule 6.09(d), says only that the ball must be fair when it goes over the fence.
Baseball historian Bill Jenkinson estimates that Babe Ruth probably lost about 75 home runs because of the pre-1931 rule.
