Sports Publishing LLC The Official Rules of Baseball Illustrated: An Irreverent Look at the Rules of Baseball and How They Came to Be What They Are Today
In a game that has been around since the 1800s, there have been numerous variations on the rules of baseball. While the sport has certainly evolved, the game is still deeply rooted in history. Completely revised and updated through the 2019 baseball season, David Nemec has brought back into print his renowned book The Official Rules of Baseball Illustrated. With explanations into the rules of the game, both past and present, Nemec explains the reasoning behind many of these changes, as well as offering insight into the specific instances that may have warranted their inclusion. Whether we're talking about the "Pine Tar Game," running into the catcher, or any other adjustment to the rule book, fans will have a complete guide with this most up-to-date collection. But The Official Rules of Baseball Illustrated is not just a dry tome. Rather, you will learn from various stories throughout the game's history as to how these rules have evolved through the centuries. Including numerous photographs that depict the history of our national pastime, any fan of the sport will find this book right in their wheelhouse. As The Glory of Their Times author Lawrence S. Ritter said, "Any baseball fan, young or old, will find it fun to read."
