Ray,
If home plate is north and dead center field is south, then a wind blowing from E will blow it toward first base.
It helped me to draw a picture on a diamond. Learning impaired, and all that.

my final answer is third base but one thing to add is it is impossible for a ball to be hit that way as home plate would have to be in the outfield if you know what I mean
MY FINAL ANSWER:
MOST home plates in baseball diamionds are put towards the WEST, with the pitchers mound and Scond base towards the EAST.
Therefore, the answer would seemingly be Third base, assuming that the Home plate is at the west...BUT - it would be IMPOSSIBLE to hit a FAIR ball North to South Ball from home plate from that West position. I would HAVE to be a FOUL ball.
Therefore, if a ball is fouled due South from homeplate, and the wind is blowing from East to West, as Raymond posed, it would be fouled toward the first baseline, in a direct line, or parallel line, with the imaginary line drawn between Third and First.
Therefore, the CORRECT answer is that with an East to West Wind the ball will be blown in the direction of BOTH first base and third base.
OR, is it going AWAY from both First & Third, as the ball would be going farther away from the field this is sooooooo confusing .... ???
Only Raymond knows the answer...
Have a nice Memorial Day Madjackers, and take a moment to remember the fallen....

unless this is some sort of trick question, my final answer is 1st base.
additio....... and if it's inside of a dome, the wind blowing outside won't come into play at all
