"This illustrated guide to the complete rules of Major League Baseball, updated in 2022, will teach you everything you've ever wanted to know about the game. Admit it: Even if you're a diehard fan of our national pastime, sometimes an umpire's call can be a little baffling. And for newer fans, Major League Baseball's nuanced rules -- developed and revised over more than a century -- can be downright perplexing. Now updated throughout with the latest changes (including the runner on second for extra innings and universal designated hitters) the Baseball Field Guide explains every rule in plain English: Rules that apply before, during, and after the game ; Equipment specifications and field requirements ; Duties of the coaches, managers, and umpires ; Rules for spectators (yes, they have rules, too!) ; The clearest explanation anywhere of the infamous Infield Fly Rule, and much more! Designed for quick and intuitive searches, this entertaining reference will help you understand every aspect of the game and add to your enjoyment of the sport." -- Provided by publisher. |
