If there are 237 errors in the OBR, why haven't we fixed them yet. Every year I tear into my new copy of the rules, and the only thing that ever changes is the strike zone.
All these interpretation manuals, and others such as Carl's BRD, are excellent tools, but until they incorporate them into one official book, they are just opinions, in amatuer baseball.
This is my opinion. Feedback please.

Steve, you have to understand that any changes to OBR have to be approved by the MLB Players Union. You can cry all you want about errors but unless they agree, no changes can be made! This is the fault of youth organizations that claim ORB for their rules. Even when youth leagues do use ORB, I always hear "We use MLB rules except for slide and avoid". Why don't these people just use FED? Anyway, for all those who cry about the mistakes in ORB, write to the Player's Union and see if they will listen to you!
Not being snotty, that's just the way it is!
