J/R refers to the book "The Rules of Professional Baseball", co-authored by Chris Jaksa and Rick Roder. I would strongly encourage you to obtain a copy if this stuff interests you. (Warning: this can consume ridiculous amounts of your time.) You can buy it at:

Just a quick note to the Coach for all to see re: J/R. I have read numerous posts on this site quoting J/R and (before Coach today) someone, it may actually have been Coach, posted the link to buy it.
Very simple review: the best $30.00 I ever spent on a book. This book is now my go-to guide. IMHO I highly recommend it!
