I would like to have some of them highlighted in my book so that I will be prepared in case discussions come up where I can help others.

Thanks in advance.

Please don't let that discussion(with the book) be with a coach during a game.

Remember, a rule is only tricky if you don't understand it. No substitute for rules knowledge.

Here's my suggestion for final prep.

1. Know your baserunning awards table
2. Find a top 10 or top 20 baseball myths list (I'm sure someone here can accomodate us) Husker got us started with the top 2. go thru it methodically and know why it is a myth and which rule dispels the myth.
