 Ground rule double - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In baseball, a ground rule double is a term used to describe any fair ball that leaves the playing field, but in a situation where regulations prohibit calling the hit a home run.
The most common situation is a ball bouncing fair on the field and then leaving play (such as over a fence); however, ground rules exist for various ballparks which provide ground rule doubles in other situations.
Any baserunners ahead of the batter are also entitled to advance two bases on a ground rule double, based on their positions when the ball was pitched.
