If, in a baseball game, the batter hits a ball splitting it right down the center with half the ball flying out of the park and the other half being caught, what is the final ruling?
@BumbleBeeBoogie,
The ruling is that you are not on planet Earth. I doubt anyone would be able to hit a ball with that kind of velocity as the kinetic energy would not all be devoted to getting the ball out of the park, plus a split ball would be far less aerodynamically sound and would hit wicked wind resistance.

The batter is ruled out for using an axe instead of a bat.
Quote:Rule 6.06
A batter is out for illegal action when—
(d) He uses or attempts to use a bat that, in the umpire’s judgment, has been altered or tampered with in such a way to improve the distance factor or cause an unusual reaction on the baseball. This includes, bats that are filled, flat-surfaced, nailed, hollowed, grooved or covered with a substance such as paraffin, wax, etc.
