FeetBallRef, the official baseball rule book has changed little over the past century. It is not very long, and much of the wording is by now quite well known, familiar even to the general public.

Still, there are several volumes of material, published by various authorities, that explain how to interpret the rule book. J/R, MLBUM, PBUC, BRD, and Evans are among the best known. (Even then, there are ambiguities and disagreements.) In other words, as with the U.S. Constitution, there are the relatively few words, and then there are the enormous quantities of interpretation.
