Rich,
All the 2006 rule changes are there, just missing the case book info found in the printed books.
Updates for 2007:
1. All 23 changes now apply to MLB (Only MiLB in '06)
2. In MLB, areas that mention league president mean Comm. of Baseball
3. Any reference to "he, him or his"" is deemed a reference to "she, her or hers" when person is female.
4. Automatic fines/suspensions do not apply to MLB (Up to the Comm).
5. Rule 6.09(b) casebook comment that adds "Lingers at home plate"
6. Rule 1.15(a) case book comment that white piping is allowed on pitchers glove as long as it's not distracting in umpires judgement
I would post the entire MLB memo (Dated Jan 2, 2007) but it's 16 pages or so in total. I can e-mail to those in need - just PM me.
