Definitely get
The Rules of Baseball by David Nemec. It is the best baseball book I have ever read, and it will give you a historical viewpoint on the rules.
The most recent OBR, of course. If you care about FED rules, get
the most recent FED rules, casebook, and umpires manual.
Jim Evans Annotated, of course, but you can't get it. Ever. Jaksa/Roder:
e-mail Rick Roder to buy it for $25.
