Baseball Rules in Black and White, what we don’t do.


Baseball Rules in Black and White does not scatter pertinent rule information and randomly hide it throughout a chapter or the entire book. We do not offer the reader bits and pieces of a ruling, as though only a portion of a ruling is what we need in a game. Instead we provide rulings that include related sub-rulings, from the time of the infraction until play has stopped.


Baseball Rules in Black and White does not provide every single rule in baseball and for very good reasons. We believe focusing on the most frequently called infractions umpires see throughout a game, season after season should be our priority. These are the infractions we must rule correctly most often, not the stitch count of the baseball.

Baseball Rules in Black and White’s books do not cause you to spend your valuable time flipping pages searching for hidden, scattered or partial rules in confusing language in tiny font. Instead we have taken obscure rule book language and random formatting and converted it into a structured format, with easy to read basic English sentences.

You’re going to spend your valuable time searching and flipping pages anyway, instead try studying, retaining and correctly applying the most frequently called rules with Baseball Rules in Black and White.
