there is the NBC (national baseball congress) and TSN (the sporting news) versions, probably more but i dont know off the top of my head. some places say that rules as published by Sporting News are the official ones for the league. there are very small differences, and someone earlier said that most people cant even find the few tiny differences there are. edit: i just read an older thread and found that the differences are in the wording, not interpretation

heres the TSN version at amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/089...lance&n=283155
im not sure what 3 letters denote this one, but most of the older OBR books i have are based off of this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/157...lance&n=283155
