You are correct in asserting taht I did not go to McGriff's to read the post. I didn't feel the need to do so in order to answer the question. There are multiple versions of OBR, Mr. Rocket Scientist. The Official Rules of Baseball are authorized by the Major League OPRC and interpreted worldwide. When we had American and National Leagues, we had separate interps in the same league. We still use them for interleague play. In other countries, some of the most basic guidelines are changed. In the United States, we have multiple publishers issuing "THE OBR", and they vary depending on editing. If you had ever worked in a professional ball game, you would know this. You claimed to have attended professional school. Which course books were you issued? We were told to dismiss anything that wasn't part of the PBUC system. (That is what it was called back then.) I could go to a book store now and find several different rule books for baseball. All would claim that they are official.
As for the mauling, I believe that several people just sat back and watched - laughed at you, but watched you get humiliated by a Fed/JUCO wannabe. I told you it would be fun watching you get crushed. Be careful what you wish for, Einstein.
Lastly, if you are referring to "lickin" instead of "lickin'" you would be accurate. I neglected the apostrophe, while you neglected logic and brevity.
You are still hung up on my use of pseudonym for this board. Get over it, you are not that clever. I'm not for accolades or hoping that an assignor in my area will see how intelligently I write. My schedule is just fine without it. Finally, you might want to abandon the "His High Holiness" moniker. Relying on others to rule for you or provide necessary information does not convey a sense of superiority. You might want to try "Altar Boy" because you just got screwed again.

What about this one in your first post Windbag:
"Is suggest that you check the publishing date of whatever manual you are looking at. If it does not say "2004", there will be rules differences."
Were you writing Ebonics here? You also ended the sentence with a preposition.
You also have a spelling error and at least two grammatical errors in your current post. I quoted the whole thing for amusement.
The specific question that I asked concerned the differences between NBC and TSN versions of OBR. You have gone off on a tangent but failed to answer the question. Do you have a reading problem? Or do you not know the answer and cannot admit that you are ignorant/ The great wizard would have answered the question. You, on the other hand, have produced a bunch of BS with no answer.
That is what Rut does. He attempts to dazzle us with BS without answering the specifics. His attempts are as pathetic and as long winded as your posts.
The question again Windy:
What are the specific differences between the NBC and TSN versions of OBR? One is in rule 8.06. Bob Jenkins believes that there is one other difference but he does not know where it is.
BTW, the difference in rule 8.06 is in the wording, not the interpretation so I have a second question:
If there are other differences in wording, are the interpretations still the same? I'll bet the great Wizard would have an answer and the history to go with it. What about the Windbag?
