I'm always conscious of the fact I don't know the rules as well as I should. I rarely question an umpire but more go between innings to get things clarified. I'd like to be more informed.
Is there a book/manual that will take the rules that the state of Ohio uses and through other wording and examples can explain it all? I'd like for it to state the actual rule and then go deeper into to actually teach it and leave less (though we know it won't be all) to what I (as a parent/coach/ninja) think it PROBABLY means. I suspect this version of the rule book would be about 3-4 times as long as the normal rule book but it would be very useful. Heck I know a few umpires who could use the darn thing. Additionally I'd like for there to be a chapter about 50 pages long on "Typical situations" and then "Busting the myths" and on and on.
I know ASA, USSA, etc. each have their own rules but it would be easy to have this expanded version and then read the others normal rules.
If this was done well I could see organizations making it standard reading, even mandatory.
