MLB Pulications Question
Anybody know where I can get copies of MLB Rules IN SPANISH? I've got a buddy in Venezuela and he's looking.
I found PBUC in Spanish to send him (Jim Evans site), but a rule book is another story.

Help! And thanks in advance...

JJ

I did more research and discovered there are no "official" MLB Rules books in Spanish, and there are none available for sale anywhere in this country - or anywhere else I could find.
My buddy will just have to go with the PBUC to help "explain" the rules he struggles with in translation!

I found a website with the rules in Spanish. I just typed "Reglas de beisbol" in the search engine and found this at the top:

Thanks, Steve. I typed "Regalos de beisbol" in google - I guess spelling counts, huh?
Fortunately, he can check out this site. Unfortunately, he can't just buy a copy in rule book form like we can. Of course, he could print it all out. But I also wonder how up to date this copy is - after years of virtually no changes to the rules, there were a few in '08. I'll pass it along to him anyway, and also mail him an English version -

JJ,

Yes, you were looking for "baseball gifts."

The rules are the older version. I went straight to rule 8.04 and it lists 20 seconds for the pitcher to pitch, which of course is the old rule.

I always knew it would help to have a Spanish major on board.

Minor. Majors have been Physical Education and Computer Graphic Design.

I knew I liked you - my major was Physical Education with a minor in Spanish. Oh, and I played the (lady) Director's organ in band...

And I can't believe I forgot my first major, a two-year stint as a Business Major when I got out of the army. Guess I've finally blocked it out successfully!
