CoachJM what does JEA stand for?

As CoachJM points out JEA stands for Jim Evans Official Baseball Rules Annotated , however, that manual is not yet "on the market" for all to purchase. Hopefully, one day Mr. Evans will make his manual available to all.

Ok what does all this mean. It means that Mr. Evans interpretations are mainly suited for PRO ball, not necessarily geared towards amateur ball, however, there are "other" materials that one can purchase.

1. Carl Childress's BRD (Baseball Rule Differences). Even if you do not call ball using various rule codes, I strongly recommend the purchase of this book.

2. Jaksa/Roder rules of Professional Baseball.
Generally speaking the aforementioned is more of a valuable resource because EVERYONE can purchase the book.

FED / NCAA have their own CASE Book which explains their rulings.

In a nutshell, an answer on this FORUM or any other Forum for that matter is not Authoritative, but in most responses you can check out the answer for yourself, using the aforementioned Materials.
