    Why do batters run to 1st base when they hit a pop foul ball?
    I will never understand why they run to first base when a position player is running in obvious foul territory waiting for the foul ball to land in their glove for the out. Even if the position player doesn't catch the ball for the out, it's still a foul ball and the batter gets another chance to bat...why even run to first base???

    JJ, help me out here, baldy. I heard you're an expert in this.
