The title page says the changes were by mail vote in January 2006

Most coaches think the batter is already out when he turns his back, or leaves the batter's box, or doesn't immediately run, etc. It's already a ****storm!

Yeah, I realize the Sporting News version has it. That is my point. Now I have to buy another 2006 Rule Book, when I thought I had a perfectly good 2006 Official Rules of Major League Baseball book, that I already paid for. It's the principal of the thing.
