Over Rule

Interesting. Does the MLBUM have any comment at all on disputed calls, covered under 9.04 (c). That rule explicitely calls for the UIC to over rule an umpire without an invitation.

Is the MLBUM considered authoritative when the League resolves protested games?

(Maybe I should be clear. I am not advocating this abuse of 9.04 (c). In many years and hundreds of games I've never seen one umpire over rule another. My point is that the rules do seem to allow for it. The rules also allow for abuses such having different strike zones for each team, which also cannot be protested.)

Thanks,
