I would contend that I am tied for first for being a fan of the game.

I would also note that I would bet that I could score a baseball game without having read Rule 10. In fact as an ex-pitcher I can even figure ERA.

Having played the game at a pretty good level, umpired the game and havng written about it I know I could do a better job of deciding hit -vs- error than the guys that are scoring currently.

I agree Rule 10 is great for an average fan . . . it still has nuttin' to do with umpiring the game.
