In a game yesterday, 1st & 2nd, no outs. Pop up half way between home and 3rd. Lots of spin. Umpire announced "infield fly if fair". So far, so good. 3rd baseman and catcher converge but don't touch it. Ball lands about 2' fair and spins foul. Umpire said batter is out because the ball LANDED fair. I said it has to be a fair ball, not just land fair. Correct? It was a blowout win and not worth pursuing an argument.
