Just finished the book yesterday. Very entertaining. I don't agree with some of Carl's game management or mechanics, but the book was still a great read.

Does anyone have a contact email for Carl? He never responded to the one in BRD.

He'll reply. He probably got swamped w/ emails around BRD release time.

Just had an email chat with him. The email address in the book is incorrect.

Game management techniques vary for someone who's just starting out versus a guy who's been umpiring longer than many coaches have been alive. Carl's first game was in 1954 -- think about how long ago that was. Amazing!

Certainly agreed. There are other factors in play as well. I will almost never question a man's ability to control a game -- as long as it works.
