Cool

cubfan,

I would suggest starting with this one:

Better Spelling in 30 Minutes a Day , by Robert Emery and Harry Crosby.

http://www.amazon.com/Better-Spellin...4268265&sr=1-1

Sorry, that was irresistible.

Seriously, two I would recommend are:

The Rules of Professional Baseball, by Chris Jaksa and Rick Roder. (aka J/R)

http://www.rulesofbaseball.com/

Baseball Rule Differences, by Carl Childress. (aka BRD)

http://shop.officiating.com/x/product/brd2006

I would also suggest a mechanics manual such as the PBUC "red book" or the CCA manual.

JM

The Manual for The Two Umpire System (PBUC red book) is 2 man mechanics only. The CCA manual, has 2, 3 and 4 man mechanics. If you are just starting you are not likely to need 3 and 4 man for awhile. The PBUC Umpire Manual is a decent book also.
