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”.
