10. Selling on e-bay is a hassel. 9. Shipping the books to the winning bidder is a pain. 8. You have to set up a Pay Pal account or wait until payent clears, which is another hassel. 7. You still might get stiffed. 6. If everything goes well you have to provide postive feedback. 5. If things go badly you have to provide negative feedback. 4. If things go badly you might receive negative feedback. 3. All of the losing bidders will be pissed at you. 2. All of your umpire friends will be pissed you didn't give the books to them. 1. You'll miss the biggest benefit of the books - the opportunity to read them! Mike |

1. Umpiring is a hassle. 2. Buying new gear is expensive and requires thought. 3. When that new gear breaks or is replaced, you get pissed. 4. Players and coaches are a hassle. 5. When things go well, you have to go home and some guy gets to rate you. 6. When things go badly, some guy is going to rate you. 7. When you make a bad call, half of the people are going to be really pissed. 8. You have to wear polyester. 9. You have to wear it on really cold and extremely hot days! 10. That really expensive gear that you bought didn't protect you from the shot to the forearm or inner thigh! Fa,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la!

e.g. in the "current" JEA he says a runner may not overrun first on a walk but the MLBUM says it is OK.

JEA under 7.08(c) "Professional Interpretation": "A batter who is entitled to 1st base because of "four balls" being called may not overrun or overslide 1st base. This is an award which is administered while the ball is alive and in play. He is entitled to 1st base without liability to be put out, 6.08(a). His liability to be put out resumes once he touches the base." MLBUM Section 5.13: "NOTE: The batter-runner is not prohibited from overrunning first base on a base on balls (i.e., the batter-runner may overrun first base on a base on balls and is not in jeopardy of being put out provided he returns immediately to first base). (See Official Baseball Rules 7.08(c)(EXCEPTION), 7.080), and 7.10(c).)"

Jim never released an update. Your 1993 Ann. is the only one out there.
He has been updating the Ann. for several years however. He showed me Rule 1 about 4 years ago. I asked if I could see Rule 2 but he wouldn't do it. I have the '93 Ann. on CD and I asked Jim if I could reproduce the Manual on a limited basis and market it. I got a definite NO! I haven't heard the rumor about the new addition ciming out on CD but it wouldn't surprise me. Dave **** |
