Perfect!

Maintaining perfect accuracy while publishing three baseball rule resources for two specific levels of baseball in 18 months for our Baseball Rules in Black and White series has been an incredible task, especially considering what was required. 


We collected and organized over a thousand related rulings, sub-rulings, and examples, then we converted them from rule book language into Basic English. Each converted ruling includes its official rule number. In order to formulate the complete ruling the collected rulings had to be formatted logically with rulings and sub-rulings placed together as appropriate and in order of importance. We produced a user friendly A-Z  Table of Contents so information can be found easily and quickly.

Baseball Rules in Black and White is extremely thankful to have a national
network of rule advisers (our readers) from all across the country who constantly help monitor every ruling  in our books! These sources help us produce the most accurate baseball rules resources possible.

We want to thank Doug McClure at Triple Play Umpires and his amazing staff for informing us of a proofing error in the 2018 College Edition. While over 95% of the initial ruling was correct, any percentage of incorrect information is not acceptable at Baseball Rules in Black and White. 

Any time we discover a ruling that needs to be amended we immediately amend the error at the publisher as soon as possible. We also post the amended ruling on our website Baseball Rules in Black and White for six months in order that the reader can copy it and insert it over the pages with an errant ruling.

While pursuing perfection mistakes will be made, but in order to improve mistakes should never be ignored!
