The 2015 BRD: Baseball Rule Differences

According to Referee Magazine, the BRD is an "essential book" for umpires. If you've ever owned one, you know how valuable it is. If you're a first-time buyer, my guarantee always stands: Get the book. If you don't like it, I'll refund your money and you can keep the book. This year's edition (the 32nd) contains almost 200 official interpretations from Hunter Wendelstedt and the staff of the Wendelstedt Umpire School. In all, the book has 578 "off interps" from recognized authorities in FED, NCAA, and OBR rules. An example: Awards are sometimes made from the time of the pitch, but the OBR doesn't define that. You need the BRD - just to be sure. This edition features 350 plays spread out over 579 sections and is the result of more than 500 hours of painstaking research and editorial revisions. With an alphabetical index and a citation index leading the way, you'll be far ahead of the other umpires in your association when you get this book. Happy reading. And happy research! To paraphrase a well-known pitchman: "You're gonna like the way you call." Carl (Papa C)
