MLB Rule Book
Does anyone know if/when/where the new MLB Rules book will be out and where it can be obtained? Thanks. Oh, if MLB Rules are available online, that may suffice.

Copied and pasted from the pdf format using reader. You can do it...
6.01 (a) Each player of the offensive team shall bat in the order that his name appears in his team’s batting order. Use the cursor/arrow button and scroll over what you're copying, then paste it in here, just like the old format.

You can print the PDF, scan it to a Word or .txt file, then easily cut-paste. By why should we have to do so? How much money does MLB make off the OBRs compared to legal counsel to keep their butts covered when their cheating superstars get caught junking drugs?
The lack of free rules to any official or fan is another bullet point in the sickness of professional baseball.

Why yes you can, I'll have to get me one of them newfangled thangs. It's refreshing to see that there are some people willing to openly admit to copyright violations. I don't mean to pick on you personally, I see this all the time. It's much like going 40 in a 35, much ado about nothing, in this relative sense. Frequently violated law, reproducing the OBRs. The violation imnsho is that there is a copyright on the Nation's Game Rules.

"edited to say... will sell copies for 5 plus s/h????" I'm not a copyright attorney. I do not know what rights you have to reproduce an item that bears the warning that it may not be reproduced in any form. I'll take your word for it.

Cheaper? Only if you don't have to pay for all those pages of paper, or did you not factor in the cost for paper and toner/ink used? At $4.00/book, we're not spending any more money than we would be spending had we tried to print 40-50 copies from MLB.com. Add to the mix the cost of one's time to print so many copies with so many reams of paper, and the cost is actually LESS for us to buy a batch of books.
