I would suggest that many of the "official" interpretations of Barney Deary and Nick Bremigan would also hold currency despite the fact that neither gentleman is listed as a currently serving professional official.

Warren, I might just point out that the reason neither is listed as a "currently serving professional offiicial" is that both have been dead for over a dozen years. Deary was the predecessor of Mike Fitzpatrick as director of the PBUC. Nick Bremigan was the original rules interpreter for the Brinkman school and the teacher of Jaksa and Roder.
Both Rick and Chris were often presenters at the Texas State (SBUA) umpires association annual meeting, where I joined them throughout the late 80s and early 90s as teacher/clinician. Both gentlemen reached the AAA level before resigning on their own to pursue other interests.
Rick Roder was the best minor league umpire I ever saw, and that evaluation includes several who made it to the big leagues.
