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.

Like I said, the latest changes aren't on line yet.
More 2007 changes:
7.08 (a)(1) now has "his baseline" instead of "direct line between bases" and defines "his baseline"
6.05(k) now allows a runner to exit the three foot lane in the immediate vicinity of first bas in order to touch the base. 7.09 (k) which was redundant has been eliminated.
The press release on the latest changes are on line.
