After all, this is simply a reference to part of the rule with which every umpire should already familiar. I don't see any reason for every paragraph to be so rule-specific as to cause more issues than necessary. If you don't think that is a valid point, try reading the NCAA rules for football.  |
Rules do not confuse you with 90 years experience
and three letters after your name, or a lot of the rest of us because of much study and discussion; but as you know there are even some offficial interpretations that are wrong.
There are newer folks learning who can be confused because they have not applied the rule in action or more likely
someone told them the wrong interp.. I'll try not to say baseball, fan, coach or certain sanctions in this post.
No, I do not want to see the other books approach the length of the NCAA book; but there are times when it is more specific.
I think Scott clarified the other half of the rule sentence if that was part of the OP question.
