5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, May 21, 2003

By	Randy Given (Manchester, CT USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I have the Official Baseball Rules (OBR) book and also use some online resources when trying to determine if my umpiring calls were correct (and what they should be in the future!). However, none of the other resources lay things out as clearly as this book does.

The reader is taken through a logical sequence of coverage that a typical umpire will encounter. It also is useful for coaches, players and spectators, but I find it most useful for umpiring and making calls on rules.

Each section lists the appropriate section of the OBR, so it is good to have OBR at your side as well. The reading is easy, well laid out and printed nicely.

This book was certainly worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Baseball Rule Book You Can Buy!, March 6, 2007

By	Bruce (Seattle) - See all my reviews

This is a wonderful book. I use it to umpire little league, and it covers everything you need to know in good detail. Everyone who coaches or umpires should have this book and read it every year that they're involved with baseball.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Better, May 19, 2007

By	K. Johnson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The ONLY negative I can see with this book is that it doesn't come in pocket size for you to use at games. Buy it and you'll agree!
