2018 College Edition, Coming Soon!


After five decades of either playing, coaching or umpiring the game of baseball, James C. Bettencourt decided to write a series of books called Baseball Rules in Black and White. While umpiring over the last two decades, James has ruled on thousands of plays. He has an umpire’s perspective knowing which rules are frequently called during most every game. What he also knew was just because a ruling is frequently called in a game, it did not mean those rules had been accurately interpreted.


After a lifetime of baseball, two decades of umpiring, dozens of camps, clinics, and many mentors; still his own personal baseball rule knowledge and application of those rules was not acceptable to him.

So beginning in the winter of 2015 James set out to make an optimum learning series for the most frequently called rules in the game of baseball, for each specific level of play. As a result, in the fall of 2016 the first in the series of Baseball Rules in Black and White was released, “Difficult High School Baseball Rules Made Easy”. These books improve existing rule book language with accurate and easy to read sentences, which are easy to locate and are written in big font. 

Nothing has been more powerful or faster in providing a clearer knowledge of the rules of baseball, while improving his ability to recall those rules decisively and correctly on the field than the language and format in Baseball Rules in Black and White. Nothing! Sharing these effective enhancements with other umpires, coaches and fans is James’ way of giving back to the game of baseball, for everything the game has given him.  

James C. Bettencourt is extremely proud to soon be releasing the second in the series of Baseball Rules in Black and White, the “2018 College Edition”.
