A ground rule double is when a batted ball is ruled fair by the umpires and the ball bounces and goes over or is touched by a player and goes over an outfield wall. In this case, the umpires rule that the batter will be awarded a double.
AnswerWhen the ball hits the ground in fair territory, then bounces over the wall.It cannot be a homerun, and the fielder cannot get to the ball, so it is a "Ground Rule Double"- the runner goes to second base, and all base runners can advance two bases.
Correction.What is described above is actually an example of an Automatic Double. People who do not know the rules of Baseball have mistakenly called this a ground rule double. A ground rule double would be an award of a double that only applies to a specific ball park based on that park's quirky field. Currently there is no park in the MLB that has a ground rule double.

Other than ground rule double what other terms can be used?
Automatic double. Technically, what is often called a ground rule double is not a ground rule double at all, but an automatic double. All baseball fields can have what are called ground rules. These are rules that are specific to that ball field. For example, a ball that lodges in the ivy on the outfield wall at Wrigley Field in Chicago is a double. Then there are the rules that pertain to all ball parks and are described in the rule book. For example, any fair ball that bounds over an outfield fence is a double. This would be an automatic double, although it is commonly referred to as a ground rule double.

Why is there no infield fly rule when there is a runner on first base?
The infield fly rule is not in effect when there is a runner on first base because the purpose of the rule is to prevent the defense from intentionally dropping a pop-up to get a double play. With a runner on first, there is no opportunity for a double play, so the rule is not needed.

Is it a home run if the defensive player picks up a ground rule double?
No, a ground rule double is ruled by an umpire, and once it is ruled, then it is a double. You may have a case where a ball gets stuck under the padding on the outfield wall, or stuck in the ivy at Wrigley Field, where the fielder will put his hands up asking for a ground rule double. In this case if the umpire does not rule immediately base runners will continue running, when the batter reaches home, the umpire will go out and determine if in fact it is a ground rule double if the ball is actually lost in the ivy of Wrigley Field, or at other ball parks, if the ball is actually stuck under the wall padding. It is up to the umpire at that time to decide if it is a home run or a ground rule double. However, most ground rule doubles involve a ball that is fair and bounces into the stands, if this happens, it cannot be a home run in anyway
