Product Description
Even if you’re a diehard fan of the national pastime?admit it: sometimes the umpire’s call can be a little baffling. And if you’re relatively new to the game, there’s certainly more than enough to keep you asking questions about the fine points of Major League Baseball. This revised and updated edition of the Baseball Field Guide explains the rules in plain English, enhanced with plenty of examples and illustrations you won’t find anywhere else. The result is an easy-to-use and entertaining reference guide that’s designed for quick and intuitive searches, helping you understand every aspect of the game while adding to your enjoyment of the sport.
Inside you’ll find:
  • the rules that apply before, during, and after the game
  • equipment specifications and field requirements
  • the duties of the coaches, managers, and umpires
  • the rules for spectators (yes, they have rules, too)
  • the clearest explanation anywhere of the infamous Infield Fly Rule!

5 out of 5 stars Field dimensions alone worth it   November 21, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The illustrations in this book are excellent. The visual layouts of all the major league fields alone is worth the price of admission. All of the visulas are excellent. Makes the book enjoyable to peruse even if you know the rule. The book is smart enough to know the difference between the official and actual strike zone too.


5 out of 5 stars Beautifully designed and full of info   November 9, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book is full of interesting information for beginners and long-time fans. But what makes it especially appealing to read is the design and the layout of the book. It's beautifully done. I've given away many copies to serious fans.

5 out of 5 stars The only baseball guide you will need   June 27, 2007
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book will explain all those baseball rules you never knew or thought you almost understood but weren't quite sure. It is nicely arranged to make it easy to find what you are looking for, and it has excellent illustrations to make things easy to understand. We love this book.
