151 Ways to Ruin a Baseball Game

My latest book is on sale today (7/26/12) at Amazon.com.
Here are the details

At my Website (carls brd) here's what I write about the book:

In 2002, I published 51 Ways to Ruin a Baseball Game. Hundreds of umpires emailed to tell me there were plenty more Blunders. So, in 2004, I published 50 More Ways to Ruin a Baseball Game. In the years since those best-selling books have been on the market, umpires have continued to tell me I've just scratched the surface. But those books are out of print, So, now, 151 Ways ....

This book contains the 101 original Blunders, reviewed, corrected, updated, and integrated with the new text. As you know already, I have, with the help of umpires across the world, added 50 new Blunders. Click the appropriate button below to see the list of 151 mistakes and read an excerpt.

List of mistakes Excerpt

234 pages, BRD size (5.5 x 8.5 inches), $12.99.

Usual guarantee: Buy it and if you don't like it, I'll refund your money. You get to keep the book.

You're the second one to ask. A guy on the ABUA also wanted Kindle. Here's the note I left him:

Kindle doesn't recognize WordPerfect documents. Nor PDF either. Only .doc will do.

But WP is the only word processor capable of handling the complexity of the BRD. I don't want to try to learn another program. Consequently, you'll have to borrow a copy from someone who reads books. (grin)

Famous cartoon from the early days of word processing:

An intern is showing people around the day room of the New York Times. Perhaps 50 or 60 men and women are working at their computers. Suddenly, an outburst: "Dammit to hell!"

A "little old lady" in the front of the group asks the guide: "Is it murder?"

The guide says: "No, that's Bill. He's still tryijng to use Microsoft Word."

I ain't Bill.

You still know how to turn a phrase. Even we Tuscaloosans recognize that.

Fair enough. While I have an extensive library of "real" books, I find I only manage to read the ones I get Kindle versions of any more.
