5.0 out of 5 stars The rules the big leaguers play by!, August 20, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Official Rules of Major League Baseball (Serial) (Paperback)

This is the book that Major League umpires put under their pillow at night. This is the bible for any league that plays by the Official Rules of Baseball. Do you really understand the Infield Fly Rule? Did you know there are times when an umpire has to call a FOURTH out? What is the definition of a balk? What happens when a team bats out-of-order? All these answers (and many more) are in this book. Learn it from cover-to-cover and impress your friends as a baseball trivia buff

This review is from: Official Rules of Major League Baseball 2000 (Official Rules of Major League Baseball, 2000) (Paperback)

If you like baseball, you simply must have this book. A great argument setteler, and a good way to gain a greater understanding of the game. Even a complete section on how to keep score! I awlays bring a copy whenever I go to a ballgame.

1.0 out of 5 stars Major rules with little league binding., August 1, 2001

By	"veemail23" (Staten Island, New York USA) - See all my reviews

The rule book is pretty straight foward and easy to use but useless because of its self destructing binding. Open the book fully to a page and you're likely to lose that page as it separates from the "stick-um" type binding. This is not the handy reference guide you'd like to pack in your team bag for frequent inquiries. [....]Better still, buy a rule book in a book store where you can hold it, flip through the pages and imagine it holding up through many challenging game situations.
