The book's title alone should should clue you in that it isn't the be-all and end-all for Major League Baseball, or even aimed at that audience. How many MLB games utilize the two-umpire system?

No one with a reading comprehension level skill above third grade would need your clarification. My language is careful, specific and accurate. I never said that it was the MLB manual.
To answer your other concern, the majority of MLB umpires use the two umpire system. There are multiple levels of MLB in case you weren't aware.
