[Jim Porter]

Color me disappointed.

I hope no one here is confused by the apparent misrepresentation made by Mr. Wiederaenders. Certainly the Academy notes would indeed be valuable, but I would be quite upset to have sent my $65 plus shipping to the Academy only to find out that I did not receive Jim Evans' Official Baseball Rules Annotated.

I'm certain Mr. Wiederaenders did not intend to deceive us. Perhaps he might post a clarification. I hope he will. But so far he seems to be doing a lot of advertising for the Academy and very little responding and participating (the only response I know of to any post was when he felt I somehow misrepresented the Academy.) I don't necessarily have a problem with that, but in this case it seems necessary that he respond.

As far as I understand, Jim Evans' Official Baseball Rules Annotated is available only at the Academy and it can only be purchased by students of the Academy. It is not handed out to students.

If the "subject" in Mr. Wiederaenders post is accurate, he is talking about the book we all want. I have e-mailed the Academy. I will post any information that I receive. If anyone else knows anything sooner, please post that information.
