Team Work and Collaboration in Black and White

I wrote Baseball Rules in Black and White, but this does not mean it was only a one person project.  In order to create the best rules resource possible, I often consulted with rules experts and professionals who umpire at the highest levels in the game. Many suggestions, ideas and perspectives impacted the final draft. 

Baseball Rules in Black and White has always been about collaboration, and our college version is no exception.  I am proud to announce that NCAA Division II umpire Mr. Robert Estep has nearly completed the final editing of the original version “High School Baseball Rules Made Easy” into our soon to be released “College Baseball Rules Made Easy”. 

Mr. Estep’s strong knowledge of baseball rules and understanding of the need for effective educational rules resources makes Baseball Rules in Black and White’s college version a must read rules reference for all NCAA division I, II, III coaches and umpires alike.

Mr. Billy Haze, NCAA Division I College World Series Umpire is a respected and accomplished professional.  Mr. Haze honored Baseball Rules in Black and White with his personal endorsement. We are pleased to announce our “College Baseball Rules Made Easy” will also have Mr. Billy Haze’s meaningful and qualified endorsement.
From the very beginning “Billy” understood the need and benefits that a reader friendly baseball rules resource like Baseball Rules in Black and White could provide to everyone in baseball, not just umpires and coaches. 

One other collaborator from the technology field is Mr. Sean O’Rourke, who has achieved a stellar accomplishment.  That component is the app for Baseball Rules in Black and White, to be released in a few short weeks.  Sean immediately grasped how the technology component could benefit our project and the baseball world.

These three well respected gentlemen as well as countless others (indirectly) have contributed to this grand project. As Baseball Rules in Black and White’s series and technology components continue to grow, our mutually beneficial collaborations will as well.
