I'll bet more copies of the MLB rulebook are sold than the ASA rulebook, and the MLB rules are online for all to see.
40,000 ASA umpires buy their book each year, along with thousands of coaches. Do you really think over 60,000 copies of MLB's ORB are sold each year?
I'm not talking about umpires and coaches - I'm talking about people who want to know the rules who do not fit into one of these categories.

The better question would be: How many non-umpires and non-coaches are purchasing the ASA rulebook versus the number of people who grab the Sporting News edition of the Official Baseball Rules which can almost always be found in the sports section at almost any bookstore - despite the fact that those rules are readily available in countless locations on the internet, including MLB's website?
