Hi fellas,

Who has made the $69 investment on the manual and what are your thoughts?

It's not an investment; it's an expense.

Depends on how you look at it I guess.

... That's just something that my dad says about stuff that's an expense rather than an investment. This was one of those things.

The Red Book is very good. So is the CCA Manual. The Jim Evans Manual (which I have perused, but not yet obtained) is truly outstanding. But to downgrade the other two to such a degree is not necessary or warranted, nor is it necessary to over-rate the Evans Manual in that manner.

Have not read the book but have attended week-end type clinics where Jim was one of the instructors so think I know what might be in the book

If you think that you learned everything Jim has to teach (even just about 2 umpire mechanics) from a weekend clinic, then you don't know Jim.

Nothing else comes close. The Redbook and CCA manual both pale in comparison to its completeness.
