Best story I heard about a rule book on the field comes from a friend in the Seattle area.
BU still in A at the end of the inning. Before he can go out to RF a coach comes out with rule book in hand.
Coach: "Look, right here, this is what I'm talking about."
Ump: "Which page?"
Coach: "This one." (He points)
Ump: Takes the book from the coaches hand, rips out the page indicated, folds it and places it in his pocket, while saying: " I'll read it after the game." He then trots out to RF leaving coach with the rulebook minus a page and a baffled look on his face.
