A great overview for novices and a precise reference guide for devoted fans!

Admit it: Even if you're a die-hard fan of our national pastime, sometimes an umpire's call can be baffling. And for newer fans, Major League Baseball's nuanced rules—developed and revised over many decades—can be downright perplexing.

Now updated throughout with the latest changes, including specifications about the universal designated hitter and limits on defensive shifts, the Baseball Field Guide lays out every rule in plain English. You'll learn to answer all these questions and more:

  • Do you know the twenty-two ways a pitcher can be charged with a balk?
  • Can you list all seven ways a batter can safely get to first base?
  • Obstruction or interference—who's at fault when things get rough?
  • What are the rules that apply before and after a game?
  • What happens when spectators are the ones who misbehave?
  • How well do you understand the infamous Infield Fly Rule (and why does it exist)?
  • This is the clearest explanation anywhere of the rules of baseball. 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.

        Most people, diehards and novices alike, don't have the time or the inclination to read the Major League Baseball official rules. Luckily, Formosa and Hamburger have written a clear and concise book that explains every rule, using real-life examples and simple but effective illustrations. Designed to be used as a reference book, it could be read cover to cover but will be used best as a source to grab when needed. Helpfully set up to make it easy to find what you need, each chapter focuses on a different aspect of the game, such as batting, teams and leagues, and umpires. Covering everything from basic rules of the game to the more obscure and updated to include the new rules in 2023, this book will teach everyone something new. Did you know that ejected players can change into street clothes and watch the rest of the game from the stands as long as they don't sit near the dugout? This book belongs on the shelves of most public libraries, especially those with sports fans.
