So did NBC. And, perhaps surprisingly, there were one or two (relatively small) differences. Personally, I preferred the format of the NBC book (it was smaller).
One of the differences: The NBC book said that when a pitcher was visited for the second time, he had to be removed "from the game." TSN just said he "had to be removed." The former is, of course, the MLB ruling (I think the rules on MLB.com at the time also omitted the "from the game" phrase.")
