Gentlemen,

For those of you who are interested, I just happened to notice that the 2008 BRD is now available for order:

I just wish there was some sort of notification system to inform you that your
current subscription is expiring soon.

msavakinas,

Correct, "Baseball Rule Differences" by Carl Childress.

It covers the differences between OBR, FED, NCAA, & NAIA. But it's really more than that.

It's really a pretty comprehensive book covering interpretations for the myriad situations that might occur in baseball game (over 500 such), and then provides the Official Interpretations (where available) & authoritative opinions which guide the proper ruling on the situation in question, while pointing out the diffferences (where they exist) between the codes addressed.

I believe Carl initially published it in the early 80's and then published an "updated" version each year (with the conspicuous exception of 2007), including new rulings made and addressing rule changes since the previous edition.

The membership on the paid site costs $50.00 per year. With a paid memebrship, you get a $25 "credit" at the website store - which is roughly what the BRD costs.

Why? You can renew immediately when your username and password is no longer accepted.

I sent an email to Carl Childress and he forwarded it on to Brad and Jimmie (who own and run the site). Hopefully it will get fixed soon...

Papa C says..."RightSports begins shipping the 2008 BRD today. That's TODAY, 2/11." Looking forward to seeing it. The reason I pay on this site is the BRD. Love the forum, like the articles but absolutely cannot do without the BRD if you do multiple levels/rules incarnations of baseball.
