I think it's a good idea.

I have an old book called "Baseball Rules in Pictures" from 1957. It's a fun book.

I had the same book when I was a kid. I used to love that book. One thing I remember is where it showed how an umpire should never give away an appeal play. The illustrations were a hoot!

I haven't seen it in years, as my parents tossed it out when I went into the army, along with those pesky baseball cards that turned out to be worth a small fortune.
