2009 ASA Rool buks
Received the 2009 ASA book last night. Nice pretty cover. Editor should be fired, tho.

Pg. 38: width of catcher's box is only listed correctly for 16" SP. No total width is shown for the other 3 games.

Pg. 162: 42 pages of safety awareness.

Pg. 219: Elements of a Success Umpire.

That's just a quick look. I'm sure I'll find more.

According to another thread, this wasn't an editorial mistake. Knowing some of the yahoos I work with around here, it was an editorial necessity.

Open up the 2009 rules.

Go to book page 106.

Read section B. Pay attention to the sentence beginning with "ASA's official playing rules" about half way thru the paragraph.

Now, I'm disappointed that ASA has not taken religious equality into consideration in their playing rules. Muslims and Jews will no longer play our sport.

I'm not sure I'd want to umpire that game anyway. I have enough trouble with the drunks and smokers.

I don't drink THAT often, and I quit smoking!

Oh, I still haven't had a smoke since Jan 1, btw. Woohoo!

Back to the subject at hand, will they have the PDF version available this year? It's not on officialgear.com...

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Personally, I was glad to see some of the changes/updates to the book.
