Rulebooks for Everyone!
Most of the people that know me well know better than to argue about rules with me. I am wrong on occasion about the rules, (once back in 1988) but for the most part I am a rules nerd. I am not exaggerating when I say I read the softball and baseball rulebooks cover to cover every year when they come out. I actually look forward to it! God I am a geek!
It is a little bit of a joke around town. When an opposing coach or umpire starts to debate a rule w/ me everyone in the stands on my team gets a chuckle. The most common quote heard is “Don’t they know better than to argue the rules with him?” My philosophy is how can you bend and stretch the rules if you do not know them thoroughly?
Anyway, Great News! Little League is making their rulebooks available for purchase by anyone! Only coaches and officials were able to get them before, but now, anyone can buy them! So when you are in the stands and want to argue rules with me, make sure you have your rule book handy! You are going to need it!
